Sour Black Cherry Smoothie
Are you the kind of person who like the sour more in the “sweet and sour” combination? Do you like a good pucker after you take a drink? Wait, don’t answer that. But you know what I mean. If tart is your taste then you should give this cherry smoothie a try. It is sour but great tasting. Don’t be afraid to add a sweetener such as Stevia if you need a little more sweet in your sour.
Sour Cherry ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup pitted black cherries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 4 ice cubes
Combine the ingredients in your favorite blender and blend (from low to high if you have variable speeds) until smooth. Serves 2 or 1 if you are really hungry.

Broccoli Blueberry Smoothie
I have never made a smoothie with broccoli and blueberries specifically, but I have throw in some broccoli florets when making a smoothie every now and then. Quite possibly one of my smoothies had blueberries but I don’t remember for sure. I have been making a habit of adding vegetables at the last minute to many of my fruit smoothies as they provide good nutrition, aren’t wasted and rarely to the detract from the flavor. You would be amazed at how much vegetables you can add to a fruit smoothie without your kids being any the wiser. ;-)
But I did have a request for a broccoli and blueberry smoothie so I went hunting and this combination has not been tried and published that often. In fact, this is the only one I could find on the livestrong website. Please provide any links or your own recipe in the comments below. I’d love to add more to the site. In the meantime, try this one or start tossing in few broccoli florets to any smoothie you are making.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli
- 1 cup of 100 percent cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup of low-fat plain yogurt
Blend and combine to make 1 smoothie. Add strawberries or blackberries for an additional burst of nutrition.
Pomegranate Smoothie With Cranberry
Sadly I only discovered the incredible flavor rush of fresh pomegranate seed a year or so ago. So I have missed out, but I am making up for lost time. When the pomegranate is in season (Oct. – Jan.) I try to get the actual fruit, but other times I must buy the pomegranate juice to make smoothie. Here is a great pomegranate smoothie recipe that will perk up your taste buds and give you a burst of energy.
Ingredients:
3 cups chilled unsweetened cranberry juice
3/4 cup chilled pomegranate juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
6 packets of no-calorie sweetener
3 cups chilled club soda
In large pitcher, combine cranberry juice, pomegranate juice and lime juice. Stir in sweetener until dissolved. Add club soda and pour into glasses. (Serves 4) Courtesy of InStyle Magazine

Healthy Breakfast Smoothie
I decided to make a instructional video about my most favorite healthy breakfast smoothie recipe. I have this smoothie about once a week and would do it more if I had the time every morning. This smoothie can be had anytime as a meal replacement so don’t let the breakfast title fool you. They whey powder makes this a tasty protein smoothie as well. The smoothie recipe is below the movie.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and/or strawberries)
- 1 scoop of whey powder
- 1 Tbs. flaxseed oil
- 1Tbs. ground flaxseed
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1 pack of Stevia
- 8 ice cubes
- 1 cup water
Blend until smooth and if needed you can add a few ice cubes to thiken it up. Make a little over sixteen ounces, so it will a good size to go cup and you can take a quick shot of the extra before you head out the door.
