Recipe FAQs

What do you need to make a healthy smoothie?

I highly recommend investing in a high-speed blender if you’re going to be making a lot of smoothies. I like both the Vitamix and Blendtec blenders. They will last you for years and you won’t regret the investment. A high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of greens into a delicious, creamy drink.

Are smoothies actually healthy?

In general, yes. Of course, there are some people who don’t do well with smoothies, especially ones that are too high in fruit. Learn more about the health benefits of green smoothies.

Can you make a smoothie in advance?

Believe it or not, you can make smoothies in advance, but they will start to degrade after about 2 days. A better way to prepare smoothies in advance is to make prepared smoothie packs, and then just blend with almond milk or water when you’re ready to drink your smoothie.

Can smoothies help with weight loss?

Yes, as long as you are careful about measuring out ingredients and not going overboard with drinking too much. For instance, it would be easy to drink a 500 calorie smoothie in just a few minutes if you’re not careful. So, I recommend following a recipe, using a spoon to drink your smoothie (this helps you slow down and develop more digestive enzymes to digest the smoothie), and monitoring your weight to make sure you’re not gaining weight.

For someone who usually has a fast food breakfast or something very unhealthy, drinking a breakfast smoothie will likely aid with weight loss, since there is a ton of healthy nutrition in smoothies. All of the recipes included in this round-up are healthy and nutritious, and can likely aid in weight loss.

But, to be sure, please do check with your healthcare provider to make sure smoothies are right for you and your health goals.

How can I add protein to my breakfast smoothie?

I like using protein powders. Check out my list of the best paleo protein powders. And, if you’re pregnant, be sure to check out my list of the best protein powders for pregnancy.

If you’re on a dairy-free diet, skip any whey protein powders as they will contain dairy.
