Spirulina Power Smoothie
Spirulina is one of the super foods. It is packed with antioxidants and full of helpful vitamins. Spirulina is a true healthy and beneficial nutrient. But like many things that are healthy it doesn’t taste so great. The good news is smoothies are the perfect vehicle for helping you get healthy foods while giving you a great taste too. Try this power green smoothie with Spirulina, and see if you don’t feel better and get a great tasting smoothie to boot!
Smoothie Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (frozen)
- 1/4 cup orange juices
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 tbsp Spirulina powder
Instructions
- Place the berries, orange juice, plain yogurt and Spirulina powder in your blender and blend for a minute or until green and smooth. If you feel it still needs a bit of sweet try adding a 2 teaspoons of honey.
Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
My daughter came home from school the other morning with a recipe her teacher gave to everyone…It’s titled Orange Smoothie, but I think a better name for it would be Orange Creamsicle Smoothie…it tastes almost identical…
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup of orange Tang
Oranges)
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Ice (enough to make desired consistency)
Place everything into a blender, mix till ice is crushed.

Strawberry Peach Carrot Smoothie
Next time, I think I’d omit the yogurt in favor of a banana (not a big fan of yogurt’s tanginess in smoothies) and add an extra carrot for sweetness (this wasn’t unsweet, which is why I didn’t add agave nectar, but I figure an extra carrot for sweetness is still a sneaky way of getting more…carrot. Also, I know it seems odd that carrot adds more sweetness than the fruit, but it does).
Ingredients:
- 1 medium carrot (peeled)
- 1 fresh peach
- 6 or so frozen strawberries
- 1/2 container of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon flax seed oil
Blend blend blend until somewhat runny (the frozen strawberries make this more like a frozen yogurt when first combined, needs a little more blending action to make it drinkable).

Healthy Green Coconut Smoothie
I have been experimenting more with coconut oil and I think I like it. So you may see a few more coconut oil smoothies in the future. It isn’t a staple for most kitchens, but maybe it should be. Coconut oil, said to be “healthiest oil on earth” is extremely good for for you (read more here) and adds a unique taste you will enjoy. Try and and let me know how you like it. Here is a brand I recommend: Barlean’s Organic Oils Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas, frozen
- 2 HUGE handfuls spinach (you won’t even taste it)
- 1 cup milk (almond or soy is even better than moo juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Add all ingredients into a blender. Blend until mixed. Serve in tall glasses and enjoy.

Strawberry Lemon Zing Smoothie Recipe
Okay, this smoothie may not be for everyone, but I was craving a taste of summer. It is 33 degrees today in the good old city of Richmond, VA and I’m feeling the strong desire for warmer weather. Lemonade stirs memories of warmer times so I felt strawberry smoothie with the zing of lemon was a good choice. Let me know if this smoothie made your day, cold or not.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups lemonade
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup strawberry yogurt
Pour all liquid ingredients into the blender. Add all frozen ingredients. Blend at MIX setting for 30 seconds then blend at SMOOTH setting until smooth. While the machine is running, move the stir stick around counter-clockwise to aid mixing. Serve immediately. Each recipe serves 2, in my opinion, your serving sizes may vary. ;-)
