Say hello to the most beautiful smoothie recipes on the internet! Smoothies are such a great healthy breakfast idea and, speaking from experience, dinner idea too! That’s right, it’s my go-to when I don’t have anything to eat.

3 easy smoothie bowl recipes that come together in less than 10 minutes. Choose from: strawberry smoothie bowl, green smoothie bowl, or peanut butter banana smoothie bowl.

What goes in a smoothie recipe?

One unique thing about our smoothie recipes, is that we do not use ice. Instead, we use a 2:1 ratio of frozen fruit to liquid.

• 2 cups frozen fruit (banana, strawberries, mixed berry, pineapple, tropical blend, etc.)
• 1 cup liquid (orange juice, almond milk, coconut water, coconut milk, water)

In addition to the 2:1 ratio of fruit to liquid, you can also add other ingredients such as protein powder, greens, Greek yogurt, seeds, etc.

Best Blender for Smoothies

We have a Vitamix and it runs you about $350 on Amazon. I do not have a single bad thing to say about this beast. It’s super powerful, easy to clean, and it makes making smoothies along with other things a breeze. I can tell you right now that this is the best blender I have ever owned and there’s no turning back.

If you’re looking for something a bit smaller and the perfect size for smoothies, we recommend the Beast Blender. We actually just got it a few months ago and it works like a charm and is much cheaper than the Vitamix.

Our Favorite

Beast Blender

The Beast Blender is our go-to blender for smoothies, dips, soups, and everything in between. It’s the perfect size and moderately priced. Oh, and oh-so powerful!

Smoothie Toppings Ideas

Don’t forget about the toppings. If you’re anything like me, you don’t skimp when it comes to toppings. Here are some of my favorites:

• Homemade peanut butter
• Homemade granola
• nuts: almonds, walnuts, cashews
• seeds: flax or chia
• fresh fruit: berries, banana slices, etc.
• Greek yogurt

What are the best things to put in a smoothie?

Start off with frozen fruit and then add a liquid 2:1, frozen fruit to liquid. From there, add your favorite flavors such as peanut butter, protein powder, and greens.

Do smoothies need yogurt?

You do not have to use yogurt in order to make a delicious smoothie recipe.

How do you make a good smoothie?

A good smoothie starts with a ratio of 2:1 frozen fruit to liquid. From there, other delicious ingredients such as Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and protein powder are added for flavor and nutrition.

• ▢ 2 cups frozen fruit, (bananas, berries, watermelon, etc.)
• ▢ 1 cup liquid, almond milk, orange juice, water, etc.

Optional add-ins
