1. Ballerina Green Smoothie
1 peeled orange
½ a banana
A handful of strawberries(about 6)
2 cups of spinach (about 2-3 handfuls)

I am an avid dancer, and this is one that I drink regularly to keep slim and fit. The fruit is tangy and delicious, and is well contrasted by the greens.
2. Banana Berry
1 banana
¾ cup frozen blueberries
¾ cup raspberry sherbet
¼ cup greek yogurt
½ cup berry juice of your choice
A handful of ice cubes
For all the jamba juice enthusiasts, this one is for you! It’s definitely less green and more tummy happy. But isn’t that one of the best things about summer? A cold, sweet drink in one hand? This one more than fits the bill.

Let’s take a moment to discuss the wonder that is smoothie bowls. You’re going to feel wrong pouring your smoothie into a bowl, rather than a cup. But once you’ve topped it with whatever crunchy delights tickle your fancy and you dig in, you’re going to realize that you’ve been drinking smoothies wrong your whole life! Smoothie bowls are new, and a BIG deal. Many fitness gurus are huge advocates of these delicious breakfast alternatives. Sure, they take more time than a smoothie. But they’re more filling, and definitely more rewarding. So grab a spoon, sit down, and enjoy the best smoothie breakfast you’ve had.
4. Raspberry Oat Smoothie

1/3 cup quick oats
1 cup milk
Quicker, lazier version of a smoothie bowl? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely. The oats mixed in leave you fuller, creating a more substantial breakfast smoothie.
