If you’re looking to shake up your smoothie game with dairy-free alternatives, meet your new best friends: coconut yogurt and avocado. These creamy ingredients not only add a rich texture to your blends, but also pack some valuable nutrients to keep you energized and healthy throughout the day.

Which Suits You Best?

Each of these two ingredients carries unique traits that’ll set the tone of your dairy-free smoothie. While coconut yogurt will add a tropical feel and subtle sweetness to your blends, avocado will make for velvety smoothies that are also packed with healthy fats—it’s all about personal preferences.

Best of Both Worlds

Hey, there’s nothing keeping you from using both coconut yogurt and avocado in the same smoothie. Get the best of both worlds by starting with a base of creamy coconut yogurt, and then adding in some ripe avocado. Throw in your favorite fruits, some leafy greens, and (optional) a splash of almond milk. Blend until smooth, and voila! You’ve got yourself a creamy, dairy-free masterpiece.

If you’re someone who tries to be health conscious, then you may be aware that maintaining a healthy diet is just as important as working on your fitness. Here are some nutritious yet delicious health shakes that will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle while also providing a taste sensation.

Lemon Turmeric Flush Smoothie

If you’re looking for a sweet and sour taste adventure, then this lemon turmeric flush smoothie is for you. Squeeze one lemon and blend the juice with two cups of water. Go on to add a dusting of cinnamon as well as a dash of cayenne pepper, turmeric, and ginger.

Strawberry Smoothie

This sweet shake is simple yet effective. Blend around 10 strawberries before adding cream and a teaspoon of cinnamon and cumin to the mix. Add some oats afterward to make a crunchy top layer and a few strawberries for an extra boost.

Pear Smoothie

This superfood smoothie packs a massive punch. Slice up a green pear as well as a banana and place them in your blender. Chop up some kale until you have one and a half cups and throw that in as well. Once you’ve blended your mix, throw in some honey, pure vanilla extract, and cinnamon according to taste.

A smoothie is the ultimate breakfast—it’s delicious, refreshing, and filling. There are five essential ingredients to make the ultimate breakfast smoothie, which can be customized to your liking, and here’s a breakdown of what makes a smoothie truly healthy.

Fruit

Fruits are the backbone of any good smoothie recipe. They add sweetness, fiber, and the “good” kind of carbs, that serve as a source of fuel. Some great fruit bases for a smoothie are bananas, mangoes, peaches, and strawberries.

Greek Yogurt

Adding just ¼ cup of Greek yogurt to your smoothie earns you a good amount of protein. It will give your smoothie a creamier consistency too.

Liquid

Every smoothie needs liquid to help the rest of the ingredients combine properly. You can base your smoothie on any kind of liquid you like—freshly squeezed orange juice, plain water, or your favorite variety of unsweetened nut milk (the latter will add creaminess without extra calories or sugar).

Leafy Greens

If you’d like to add an extra dose of fiber and key vitamins to your smoothie, toss in a handful of leafy greens. Tender greens with a mild flavor, such as spinach, will work best.

When it comes to your diet it’s easy to find excuses. One popular excuse for not eating well is lack of time. Daily Harvest’s meal kits might just put an end to our excuses. With a catchphrase like “We take care of food, so food can take care of you,” the company aims to simplify eating fruits and vegetables, making healthier options ever more convenient.

All Daily Harvest foods are crafted by in-house chefs and nutritionists, with 95% of the ingredients organic. The company also partners with farmers who don’t settle for anything less than the sweetest, heartiest, most nourishing fruits and vegetables.

Founder and CEO of Daily Harvest, Rachel Drori, explains that her company was born out of a personal need. “It came from my desire to always eat a certain way and just simply not having enough hours in the day to do that,” she explained in an interview with The Flair Index. “I found a way to solve the problem for myself and decided that it was something I wanted to solve for other people.”

Indeed, with Harvest Bowls ready in under 10 minutes, lack of time isn’t much of a problem with Daily Harvest. The company now offers over 80 uniquely nourishing, chef-crafted options for any time of day with plans based on the number of items you want (9, 14, or 24) and how often you want them delivered (weekly or monthly). You can also modify your items, delivery schedule, and plan preference whenever you wish.

“It started with smoothies,” says Drori. “And it was really because there’s a misconception of frozen food. People associate frozen food with a dinosaur-shaped chicken nugget or a microwave dinner. But frozen is actually a huge opportunity,” she stresses.

“What I like to say is we offer convenience without compromise,” she adds. “Usually the two don’t work together very well. The ultimate goal is to have people get deliveries of Daily Harvest where they fill their freezer and think about their freezer as a place to go for their daily nutrition.”

The best thing about smoothies is that you can add pretty much any ingredient to the mix, but it’s important not to go overboard with some of them. Certain ingredients won’t do your smoothie any favors if you don’t use them in moderation and these five fall under that category.

Greek Yogurt

Non-fat Greek yogurt is a great smoothie add-in because it’s packed with protein, probiotics, and other nutrients, but it’s a good idea to stick to half a cup per serving.

Avocados

Avocado can give your smoothies an irresistible creamy texture, but it’s important to keep in mind they’re fat-rich fruit and don’t add more than a quarter of an avocado to your smoothie.

Nut Butters

Adding nut butter to your smoothies is a much better idea than using whole nuts because you’ll be able to blend them properly, but stick to one or two tablespoons per serving.

Sweetened Milk

Sweetened milk is best avoided when it comes to smoothies since it can be replaced with water or unsweetened verities. Fruits will add sweetness to your smoothie, so there’s no need to use this ingredient.

Honey

Honey can also be used as a natural sweetener in your smoothies, but it’s important to keep its high-calorie content in mind and stick to a single tablespoon or less.

Struggling to eat healthily? Many of us know we want to improve our diets, but we just can’t find the time to instill good culinary habits. By the time we’ve finished work for the day we just want to relax and eat comfort food, right? Fortunately, there’s a really easy way to eat healthy that’s delicious too: smoothies. Here are four reasons why you should enjoy more smoothies.

Healthy

First off, smoothies can be ridiculously healthy. You can literally put whatever mix of fruit, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals into them and drink them in one portion.

Quick and Easy

Not only can you get a much bigger intake of diverse nutrients than you would by eating a salad or healthy lunch, but it takes just one minute to prepare. This means no more fumbling about in the kitchen during your lunch break!

Refreshing

Smoothies are also super refreshing, especially in the summer months or after a hard workout. They can lift your mood and cleanse your palate.

Versatile

One of the most exciting aspects of drinking smoothies is the sheer variety of possible combinations. You can get really creative and experiment with what flavors and nutrients work best for you.

Smoothies are not a new thing. They have been popular for many years, and while they can be great for adding protein, vitamins, and nutrients to your diet, they can also hide huge amounts of sugar. Depending on what you put in a smoothie, it can make you feel better or worse over time. If you want to make sure you’re doing a good job and providing your body with all the good things it needs, follow this simple formula when making a smoothie.

Choose Milk Carefully

You can use dairy or non-dairy milk, depending on your needs and preferences. If you’re lactose-intolerant, lactose-free milk or plant-based milk should be your choice.

Add Protein, Fats, and Fiber

Make sure your smoothie doesn’t only consist of sugars from milk and fruit. Carbs have their role in your life, but a balanced meal should also contain proteins, fats, and fiber.

Add Superfoods

If you have any health issues or you just want to make sure you’re doing everything you can for your health, you can add some superfoods like Ceylon cinnamon, maca root, turmeric, etc.

Frozen Vegetables

Now is the perfect opportunity to add some frozen veggies, especially if you’re not a big fan. The taste of other ingredients will mask their taste but you’ll still get all the benefits.

Next time you say your morning smoothie is by far the healthiest breakfast option you could have chosen, think again. There are so many ways to unknowingly make our smoothies unhealthy, and here are some of the most common mistakes that are sabotaging a “healthy” smoothie.

Too Much Sugar

Smoothies that are loaded with 10 to 20 teaspoons of sugar are definitely not healthy, and that’s usually the amount of sugar an average restaurant smoothie contains. That’s why it’s best to prepare your own smoothie that won’t cause your blood sugar to skyrocket.

Too Much Fruit

We usually go overboard on fruit when preparing smoothies, because we know fruits are healthy. The truth is that fruit like bananas and mangoes are also high in sugar and can cause blood sugar spikes. So try not to use too much fruit and stick to those that have less sugar like berries.

Not Enough Veggies

The main reason why people love smoothies is because they’re perfect for sneaking more greens into your diet. So try to dial down on fruit and add more kale, arugula and spinach to your smoothie.

Adding nut butter to your smoothies is a much better idea than using whole nuts because you’ll be able to blend them properly, but stick to one or two tablespoons per serving.

Sweetened Milk

Sweetened milk is best avoided when it comes to smoothies since it can be replaced with water or unsweetened verities. Fruits will add sweetness to your smoothie, so there’s no need to use this ingredient.

Honey

Honey can also be used as a natural sweetener in your smoothies, but it’s important to keep its high-calorie content in mind and stick to a single tablespoon or less.

Struggling to eat healthily? Many of us know we want to improve our diets, but we just can’t find the time to instill good culinary habits. By the time we’ve finished work for the day we just want to relax and eat comfort food, right? Fortunately, there’s a really easy way to eat healthy that’s delicious too: smoothies. Here are four reasons why you should enjoy more smoothies.

Healthy

First off, smoothies can be ridiculously healthy. You can literally put whatever mix of fruit, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals into them and drink them in one portion.

Quick and Easy

Not only can you get a much bigger intake of diverse nutrients than you would by eating a salad or healthy lunch, but it takes just one minute to prepare. This means no more fumbling about in the kitchen during your lunch break!

Refreshing

Smoothies are also super refreshing, especially in the summer months or after a hard workout. They can lift your mood and cleanse your palate.

Versatile

One of the most exciting aspects of drinking smoothies is the sheer variety of possible combinations. You can get really creative and experiment with what flavors and nutrients work best for you.

Smoothies are not a new thing. They have been popular for many years, and while they can be great for adding protein, vitamins, and nutrients to your diet, they can also hide huge amounts of sugar. Depending on what you put in a smoothie, it can make you feel better or worse over time. If you want to make sure you’re doing a good job and providing your body with all the good things it needs, follow this simple formula when making a smoothie.

Choose Milk Carefully

You can use dairy or non-dairy milk, depending on your needs and preferences. If you’re lactose-intolerant, lactose-free milk or plant-based milk should be your choice.

Add Protein, Fats, and Fiber

Make sure your smoothie doesn’t only consist of sugars from milk and fruit. Carbs have their role in your life, but a balanced meal should also contain proteins, fats, and fiber.

Add Superfoods

If you have any health issues or you just want to make sure you’re doing everything you can for your health, you can add some superfoods like Ceylon cinnamon, maca root, turmeric, etc.

Frozen Vegetables

Now is the perfect opportunity to add some frozen veggies, especially if you’re not a big fan. The taste of other ingredients will mask their taste but you’ll still get all the benefits.

Next time you say your morning smoothie is by far the healthiest breakfast option you could have chosen, think again. There are so many ways to unknowingly make our smoothies unhealthy, and here are some of the most common mistakes that are sabotaging a “healthy” smoothie.

Too Much Sugar

Smoothies that are loaded with 10 to 20 teaspoons of sugar are definitely not healthy, and that’s usually the amount of sugar an average restaurant smoothie contains. That’s why it’s best to prepare your own smoothie that won’t cause your blood sugar to skyrocket.

Too Much Fruit

We usually go overboard on fruit when preparing smoothies, because we know fruits are healthy. The truth is that fruit like bananas and mangoes are also high in sugar and can cause blood sugar spikes. So try not to use too much fruit and stick to those that have less sugar like berries.

Not Enough Veggies

The main reason why people love smoothies is because they’re perfect for sneaking more greens into your diet. So try to dial down on fruit and add more kale, arugula and spinach to your smoothie.
