6 BEST paleo SMOOTHIES RECIPES

Looking for a new, delicious, quick and easy way to start the day? Look no further than these recipes!

Here are the 6 best paleo smoothies recipes:
But, before we dig into the recipes, Here are my smoothie “rules” that I stick by to help me make sure my smoothies are always yummy:
  1. Use a good blender.                                                                                                                                                                                                          
  2. Use your (unsweetened) milk of choice. If you’re a fan of coconut milk, use it. Like soy milk? Go for it. A fan of almond milk? Cool. Use whatever milk you like in your smoothies.                                                                                                                                                                        
  3. Sweeten to taste. All of these smoothies here use frozen banana, grapes, any sweet fruits, honey or maple syrup to taste.                                                                                                                                               
  4. Stock the freezer for easy smoothies.                                                                                                                                      
  5. Use your creativity for mix-ins. 
                           
Alright, now let us dig into my six classic smoothie recipes. Master these guys, and you’ll have an awesome repertoire of smoothie knowledge to tap into anytime you want to fire up your blender. Happy blending!

1. Green Smoothie
It doesn’t get more healthy that a green smoothie, now does it? Green smoothies sound (and, honestly, look) like they wouldn’t taste the greatest, but if you do them right, they are sweet, balanced, and have no flavor of the greens! I’m a lightweight and use fresh baby spinach in my green smoothies because you can’t taste it at all. If you’re a little more hardcore on the health food front, you can try kale, collards, or even chard! The truth is, you can make almost any smoothie a green smoothie by tossing a handful of greens in. The end result might look yucky (the combo of strawberries and spinach results in a particularly gross gray color), but it’ll taste delicious!

To make it, blend together:
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup greens (baby spinach, destemmed kale, collards, chard, etc.)
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)
  • Honey or maple syrup, to taste


2. STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE
If you walk into any smoothie bar or coffeehouse, you’ll probably find a strawberry-banana smoothie on the menu. And that’s because it’s a yummy combo that everyone loves!


To make it, blend together:
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Honey or maple syrup, to taste                                                                                                                


3. BLACKBERRY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE


With all the antioxidants they contain, they make for an awesome way to load up on nutrients for a healthy breakfast.

Mix them blackberry with some coconut and walnuts, and you’ve got a great breakfast smoothie to power you through the day!

4. Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie




This is another dessert-like smoothie—you can’t beat the classic combo of peanut butter and chocolate! You can adjust the chocolate intensity of this smoothie by tweaking the amount of cocoa powder you add.

  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter

6. Mixed Berry Smoothie




If you head to the frozen fruit section at your local grocery store, you’ll probably spy a few bags of mixed berries. They usually contain strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. These are perfect for an antioxidant-packed, tasty smoothie!





To make it, blend together:
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries

NOTES


**You won’t be able to taste the spinach, and it’s a great way to sneak some greens in for breakfast! I store a bag of spinach in the freezer to make my shakes extra cold.
