Strawberry-yogurt smoothies

The best breakfast smoothies are made with immune-boosting foods, and strawberries are powerhouses of healthy nutrients for your immune system. In addition to being low in calories and high in vitamin C and potassium, berries are high in fiber, making them an excellent way to keep you full breakfast until lunch.

Secret ingredient mango smoothie

When you hear about fruity breakfast smoothies, you normally don’t hear “avocados” listed among the ingredients. Yet this healthy fruit smoothie uses avocado and all of its powerhouse health benefits in a way that’s delicious and nutritious. Avocados provide you with healthy fats and a slew of nutrients that help keep your hair strong, lower cancer risk, and keep blood sugar steady.

Raspberry-beet smoothie

Beets in this healthy fruit smoothie produce nitric acid, which helps to increase blood flow throughout your body, including to your brain. A 2017 study in the Journal of Gerontology showed that MRIs done on older adults showed that after eating a high-nitrate diet (including beet juice), these adults had more blood flow to the white matter of their frontal lobes.

Tomato smoothie

Whether you grow them in your garden or get a sweet deal at the farmers’ market, tomatoes instantly make breakfast smoothies heart healthy. Juicy “love apples” (aka tomatoes), as in this healthy fruit smoothie, have been linked to preventing heart disease, stroke, and death. The jellylike substance surrounding tomato seeds is high in salicylates, which have an anti-clotting effect on the blood.

Berry-flaxseed smoothie

Flaxseeds are packed with fiber and loaded with lignans, which have been shown to slow down tumor growth in women with breast cancer. That’s why it’s one of the cancer-fighting foods you should eat every day. Breakfast smoothies made with flaxseed also contain magnesium to help control blood sugar and omega-3 fatty acids to lower triglycerides and reduce inflammation.

Mango smoothie

Like other oranges and deep yellow fruits, mangoes are exceptionally high in beta-carotene—and they even contain more vitamin C than oranges. The high fiber content in mangoes found in this healthy fruit smoothie may also hep induce feelings of fullness. Get the recipe for mango smoothie.

Orange & banana breakfast smoothie

Even though some foods have more potassium than bananas, the potassium that bananas do have helps to keep your blood pressure levels down. Plus, its vitamin B6 content helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. Get the recipe for our orange & banana breakfast smoothie.

Blueberry-orange yogurt smoothies

Blueberries and fresh orange juice are high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Blueberries on their own already make your breakfast insanely healthier. A half-cup of freshly-squeezed orange juice provides roughly the same amount of nutrients found in the fresh fruit, but much of the pulp and membranes are strained out of most commercial brands, so you lose out on most of the fiber and flavonoids.
