As we are approaching spring and summer, the cravings to have something fresh and fruity get an all-time high. What is better than coming home from a long day outside or setting off the morning with a healthy smoothie? It’s the perfect way to get all the good stuff in with just a couple of sips.

Smoothies have become a big thing around the world and a flavorful option for those who might not like eating certain veggies and fruits but don’t want to miss out on the rewards. With that, there has been a range of superfood combos you could endure yourself with. So we have put together a few of our personal favourites so you can get all your nutrients and start your day right.

Creamy Avocado Delight: A Refreshing Smoothie for Energy

As you guessed, the superfood in this fantastic smoothie is avocado, a vegan and veggie best friend. If you aren’t sure about its health benefits, then let me indulge you. Avocados are full of good fats and full of more potassium than bananas. With all that goodness, they can reduce your cholesterol. They are packed with vitamins and fibre, so they are good for your gut and overall health. 

They can be pretty tasteless so it explains why people don’t always like them on toast or in a salad. Adding them to a smoothie is a perfect way to reap the benefits without having to force them into your meals. 

Mix It Up

We would recommend that you add your avocado in combination with pears, lemon juice and a frozen banana. Add the juice of your choice or water if you want to make it hydrating and enjoy your creamy avocado smoothie.

Warm & Fuzzy: The Surprisingly Delicious Oatmeal Smoothie

Oatmeal is not only a good way to get a full tummy but also a healthy breakfast option. Oatmeal is full of fibre and great for energy so this could be the go-to before a busy, active day. It is also full of protein so this is a great option for those who are into fitness and want to incorporate protein into their diet in a healthy way.

They are a great base so you could be very creative with the combinations but we’ve put together our favourite combinations for you to try.

Mix It Up

For the perfect breakfast smoothie to enjoy before work or a gym day, try combining it with some almonds or peanut butter, Greek yoghurt and a handful of your favourite frozen berries and fruits. If that’s not quite hitting the spot, why not add a drizzle of honey for that added natural sweetness?

Berry Blast: A Refreshing Smoothie Packed with Antioxidants

You will be surprised at how many people don’t eat fruit, so this is a great way to get all of your five a day in a drink. Creating a refreshing smoothie that is jam-packed with fruit is just what you need sometimes. Fruits and berries are full of antioxidants, vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties that our bodies love. They are great for your oral and overall health so you’d be doing yourself a favour.

Mix It Up

Get crazy with it, whether you need to use up any fruit that’s about to go off or you are looking for great combos, so try oranges, cranberries, or apples and then add some crushed ice and a juice of your choice.

Power Up Your Day: The Energising Wake-Up Smoothie

This smoothie is all about the ingredients you use and Kiwis are extremely underrated for the life they bring to your day. They are full of vitamins C and E and are linked to boosting serotonin levels, which is something that we all need on occasion. This could be a good hump day option when you need a boost midweek to pull you through to the weekend.

Mix It Up

Kiwis are easy to pair with other fruits but we would suggest you add some strawberries or apples and Greek yoghurt to thicken it up a little. You could really get creative with this and it’s a delicious way to add some fruit to your diet.

Final Thoughts

It’s important to note that smoothies are great in combination with other things, a lot of them are great for gut health, weight loss and oral health, but they aren’t the solution to problems. Therefore, if you are ever experiencing an issue, visit a healthcare professional like your cosmetic dentist in Leeds or your local GP. They are great for adding some fruit and vegetables you struggle to add to your meals or daily diet so why not try a few of our top picks and smoothie it up? It doesn’t always have to be a drinkable smoothie; so why not convert our ideas into smoothie bowls in the morning before work or the gym? You will thank us later for the happier and healthier days.
