1. Pumpkin Cranberry This tasty treat is so Thanksgiving. But we’re totally OK with that. It’s got healthy fats — coconut butter and nuts — as well as lots of fruit. Pro Tip: Soak the cashews in water or milk overnight for easier blending.
½ cup almond milk ½ cup pumpkin puree ¼ cup cranberries, frozen ¼ cup raw cashews 1 small apple, diced ¼ an orange, peeled (or a splash of OJ) 2 tablespoons coconut butter ¾ teaspoon cinnamon 2. Pom-berry Tart but tasty pomegranate juice has a high concentration of antioxidants, and is also linked to heart health. 1 cup pomegranate juice 1 cup silken tofu 2 cups assorted berries, frozen 2 tablespoons honey 3. Coconut Lime Sounds like a scent from Bath and Body Works, but this smoothie is thankfully edible. Mango not only tastes sweet and tropical, but one fruit supplies nearly 100 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C. ½ banana, sliced ½ mango, diced 1/3 cup coconut milk 1 lime, juiced and zested A pinch of ground cardamom 3 ice cubes 4. Strawberry Lemonade Talk about refreshing. For a thirst quencher that mimics the not-so-good-for-you lemonade powder, this smoothie has all the taste without the sugary guilt. ½ cup fresh strawberries 1 large date, pitted ½ cup unsweetened almond milk 1 tablespoon raw cashews 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 3 ice cubes 5. Avocado n’ Pear We have a confession to make. Here at Greatist HQ, we’re kind of obsessed withavocados. (Do we have an avocado piñata in the office? Yes, yes we do.) Pairing it with pear makes this smoothie extra delectable. ¼ cup avocado 1/4 cup silken tofu 1/4 cup pear juice 1 teaspoon honey 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3 ice cubes 6. Pink Drink This smoothie/juice hybrid is pretty and pink and ups veggie intake. Bonus: Grapefruit has been shown to have weight loss benefits. ½ English cucumber, peeled and diced ½ small raw beet, peeled and diced 1 apple, diced 1 large grapefruit, juiced 3 ice cubes 7. Chocolate-Almond-Date Almonds are a nutritionally dense nut (meaning they provide a ton of nutrition for the amount of calories they pack). For this smoothie, place the almonds, dates, cocoa, and hot water in the blender and let it rest, unblended for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tofu and ice, and blend. ¼ cup almonds ½ cup dates, pitted ¼ cup cocoa powder ½ cup boiling water ½ cup silken tofu 3 ice cubes 8. Purple Drank This smoothie is pretty and purpley, but also has the health benefits of the super root beet. They house a ton of potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. 1 small can beets, juice and all 1 cup tofu or plain non-dairy yogurt (made from coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk) 3 ice cubes 9. Mojito No, silly, there’s no alcohol in this smoothie (but we promise we’ll keep it hush, hush if you by accident sneak a little in there). Bonus: Spirulina is an algae and a good source of protein and nutrients like the B complex vitamins, which help turn our food into energy. 1 cup coconut water 2 tablespoons hemp seeds ½-1 teaspoon spirulina (optional) 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice ½ avocado 1 frozen banana 2 dates, pitted 1 handful fresh mint leaves
