Apple Pie Protein Shake from Gabriella Vetere, RDN of Macrobalanced 

 

 

I always love to add protein to my shakes to ensure they keep me full and satisfied. I love this recipe because it’s unique and reminds me of the holidays.

 

Banana Split Smoothie from Shannon A. Garcia, MDS, RD, LD with KISS in the Kitchen

 

This layered smoothie is both fun and nutritious. Each fun layer relies on natural sweetness of fruit plus your choice of milk, and doesn’t even require rinsing the blender for each layer!

 

Matcha Green Tea “Frap” from Kelli Shallal MPH RD of Hungry Hobby 

 

Matcha green tea powder is packed with antioxidants, calming L-theanine, and energy boosting caffeine for the perfect morning pick me up!

 

Tropi-Kale Mango Green Smoothie with Psyllium Fiber by Christy Brissette, MS, RD of 80 Twenty Nutrition

 

Are you getting enough fiber in your day? Most of us aren’t (myself included), so incorporating psyllium fiber into your morning smoothie can be a huge help! Psyllium can help lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. How awesome is that? Plus, the yumminess of pineapple, mango and freeze-dried strawberries make this green smoothie a winner!

 

Heart-Healthy Beet Smoothie from Whitney English, BS, Dietetic Intern of To Live & Diet in L.A.

 

I love this smoothie because it’s a fun way to work beets into your diet and is such a bright, beautiful color!

 

Blueberry Edamame Smoothie from Karman Meyer, RD, LDN of The Nutrition Adventure

 

This Wild Blueberry Edamame Smoothie packs a whopping 12 grams of fiber and 14 grams of protein, and is also rich in calcium, iron, and vitamin C. This is the perfect smoothie to enjoy post-workout!

 

Golden Turmeric Smoothie by Christy Brissette, MS, RD of 80 Twenty Nutrition 

 

Turmeric milk, turmeric tea, even turmeric in smoothies! This golden spice seems to be adding brilliant colour and potential nutrition benefits to a wide variety of recipes from breakfast all the way to dinner!

Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Superfood Smoothie Bowl by Christy Brissette, MS, RD of 80 Twenty Nutrition

 This smoothie bowl is packed with phytochemicals from matcha green tea, pomegranate arils, leafy greens and more. You’ll be super-energized when you make this power-packed bowl the start to your day!

A power packed smoothie delivers on taste and, oh, so many health benefits. Sip this for phytonutrients, fiber, protein and deliciousness!

 

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie & Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Upgrade from Annette Jochum, MS, RD, LDN

 

 

I liked this vegetable-based smoothie so much that I made it two different ways! It reminds me of pumpkin ice cream, but it’s so much healthier- a perfect quick dessert.

 

Wild Blueberry Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Smoothie by Christy Brissette, MS, RD of 80 Twenty Nutrition

 

Frozen wild blueberries, green tea, turmeric and red pepper flakes pack this smoothie full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds to promote health. The cashews deliver vegan protein and heart-healthy fats for extra staying power to carry you through a productive day!

 
 

Protein Smoothies – Contain Dairy

Want a protein-rich smoothie but looking to use some whole foods rather than protein powder? Check out these filling and muscle-building protein smoothies that feature the protein power of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.

Blueberry Ginger Peach Smoothie from Cara Harbstreet, MS RD LD of Street Smart Nutrition

Sometimes smoothies are lacking in protein so they don’t keep you full for long. Adding cottage cheese fixes that and creates a creamy texture and the mild flavor is easily hidden by frozen fruit. Adding an interesting flavor like crystallized ginger is another way to take this smoothie to the next level.

Strawberry Kefir Smoothie from Jessica Levinson, MS, RDN, CDN of Nutritioulicious

 

I love this smoothie because of the bright color and flavors, creamy consistency, and gut-boosting probiotics from the kefir.

 

Peaches and Cream Smoothie from Edwina Clark, MS, RD, APD (Aus), CSSD
 

I love this recipe because it tastes like a milkshake without going overboard on calories, and it’s a great source of probiotics for nourishing the gut.

 

Salubrious Shamrock Shake from Sarah Pflugradt, MS, RDN, LDN

 

 

Love this smoothie! 3 servings of fruit/veggies, protein, calcium, and it tastes like a treat. It’s a cinch to pull together with common ingredients that most people already have on hand.

 

Luck of the Irish Green Smoothie from Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD

 

 

This gluten-free green smoothie has no added sugar, is packed with phytonutrients, heart-healthy fat, and fiber, supplies one and a half servings of fruits and vegetables, and even if you make it vegan, it has as much calcium as a glass of milk!

 

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie from Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD

 

Drink your vegetables with this pumpkin smoothie which provides 8 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber, plus a boatload of beta carotene used to make vitamin A in your body and is an antioxidant that helps protect cells. Even with the whipped cream, it’s less than 200 calories.

 

Tropical Blueberry Smoothie from Julie Harrington, RD of RDelicious Kitchen

 

 

Who doesn’t want to wake up feeling like they are on a tropical island? This tropical flavor combo is the perfect way to start your day. Packed with fiber from fruit and protein from cottage cheese, this smoothie will keep you full and energized all morning!
