One of my goals as a Nutrition Coach is to help my clients create “anchors” throughout the day that provide them with a sense of control over their choices especially when it comes to finding a balance in their daily nutrition. Breaking your fast with a daily smoothie is just one of many anchors. It helps to kick-start the day knowing that you just made a healthy decision to nourish your body.
Smoothies are great for so many reasons – from boosting energy levels to weight management, pre-workout energy, post-workout recovery, inflammation reduction or a healthy sweet treat. They’re an all-round solution for those on the go and needing that extra boost.
Here are a few of my fave smoothie blends – each tailored to a specific purpose or person. 😉
1. Reset with this Green Pineapple Detox
Made with refreshing ingredients like pineapple, cucumber and celery — this Green Pineapple Detox is the smoothie blend that helps flush out toxins, relieves bloat and inflammation and tastes so refreshing!
2. Have your Daily Dose of Greens!
If there is a smoothie that tops nutrition profiles, this one is it. Loaded with so many vitamins and minerals from all the veggies and superfoods, Dose of Greens is my go-to when I’m trying to keep the calories low but nutrients high!
3. Fuel Up w/ Coffee-Infused Green Protein Boost Smoothie
Some days I just need that extra pick-me-up before an intense strength training session with my coach. Packing in superfoods, protein, healthy fat and sweetness from bananas and strawberries, Green Protein Boost Smoothie is so yummy and indulgent, you’ll forget how healthy it is!Â
4. Replenish after a Workout with this Sweet + Simple Smoothie
So apropro to its name – this sweet + simple smoothie recipe hits the spot every time. The protein from nut butter and powder provides the extra kick to help promote a speedy recovery after workouts.Â
5. Soothe & Heal with this Anti-Inflammatory Green Elixir
The Green Elixir is a great blend when you’re just not feeling 100%. Electrolytes from coconut water, anti-inflammatory properties of ginger, and the fresh blend of cucumber and celery help to rejuvenate and revive the immune system.Â
6. Try this Superfood Smoothie as a Meal Replacement
I always encourage my clients to get their nutrients from eating an actual meal. But on days when time is limited and it’s just not possible, this is the smoothie I would recommend. It covers all your daily nutrients in one shot and provides you with just enough energy to push you through until your next meal. The Superfood Smoothie is a client fave for sure!
