How to Blend the Perfect Smoothie Every Time (No Recipe Required)

Banana-Blueberry Smoothie

With just three ingredients, this banana-blueberry smoothie is an all around winner. In addition to the fruits, all you need is nonfat plain yogurt—and your blender!

Banana-Oat Smoothie

Like many of our best smoothie recipes, this one is versatile. The recipe calls for old-fashioned rolled oats, but you can use quick-cook oats if that’s what you have on hand. The low-fat yogurt and fat-free milk can also be substituted for any type of yogurt or milk, including non-dairy varieties.

Avocado, Spinach, and Pear Smoothie

Fresh tasting with a luscious mouthfeel, this is our favorite avocado smoothie—and it's vegan to boot. The green fruit makes it rich so there's no need for yogurt or other dairy, while spinach ups the green factor and the nutrition. Pear might seem a surprising choice, but its delicate sweetness is just what this smoothie needs.

Pineapple and Ginger Smoothie

This smoothie is all about the pineapple. You can use fresh or frozen pineapple chunks, but frozen gives the drink a thicker, more luxurious flavor. The sweetness of the pineapple is tempered by the refreshing bite of fresh ginger, while low-fat yogurt adds protein, and a touch of cinnamon brings it all together.

Apple Smoothie

This vegan smoothie stars Granny Smith apples, along with bananas and orange juice, and skips both dairy and alternative milk or yogurt. Vanilla and honey complement the fruits, and flaxseed adds omega-3 fatty acids and acts as a thickener.

Editors' Favorite Green Smoothie

This four-ingredient healthy smoothie is packed with spinach and romaine lettuce, and sweetened (and thickened) with frozen mango chunks. A little lemon juice is added for balance.

Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

One sip of this light pink smoothie and you'll instantly be transported to the tropics, thanks to a llittle light coconut milk that plays a big role. A full cup of frozen strawberries and a banana make it refreshingly cold and creamy.

Hearty Fruit and Oat Smoothie

The 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oats blended into the mix makes this smoothie thick and heart-healthy. Top with 1/4 cup chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for a more filling meal.

Pom-Berry-Banana Smoothie

Pomegranates are packed with antioxidants and add to this smoothie's beautiful deep-berry color. There's also an entire orange (peeled and pith removed, of course), that gives this recipe a boost of vitamin C.

Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie

Consider this dairy-free drink the smoothie version of a PBJ. There’s creamy peanut butter and frozen mixed berries, as well as banana and almond milk. No sweeteners needed, a pinch of salt bring the flavors into harmony.

Smoothie Parfait

Jam-packed with superfoods that will keep you charged and ready to go for the day ahead, this smoothie parfait recipe is a winner. Plus, you can make it the night before so you can grab and go in the morning.

Strawberry Slushie

The secret to this sweet strawberry slushie is to blend it just before it reaches a smooth consistency, giving it the texture we all know and love.

Carrot Mango Smoothie

A two-ingredient smoothie? Yes, please. Carrots are full of vitamin A (which helps with vision) and fiber, and we use their juice in this recipe. Mangoes are also full of nutrients and add a subtle tropical sweetness that makes this smoothie so delicious. The only other ingredient needed is a dash of nutmeg.

Pumpkin Smoothie

It might not be your first thought as a powerhouse smoothie ingredient, but once you taste this pumpkin drink, it's sure to become a new staple in your smoothie repertoire. Frozen banana, maple syrup, fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, and whole milk come together for a tasty treat.

Green Ginger-Peach Smoothie

Nutrient-rich baby spinach gives this smoothie recipe its green goodness. Peaches and honey lend a natural sweetness.
