70 Healthy Smoothie Recipes

You need new smoothie ideas right now—I can just feel it—so I’ve got 70 healthy smoothie recipes for you.

One of the most common questions I get from clients is: are smoothies actually healthy? The answer is… it depends on how you build them.

I see a lot of people blending 4–6 servings of fruit and wondering why they crash or feel hungry an hour later. Even healthy ingredients can spike blood sugar if they’re not balanced. Instead, aim for a mix of fruit, greens, protein, and healthy fats. Think nuts, seeds, protein powders, dairy or non-dairy milk—there are so many ways to make smoothies both satisfying and energizing.

For this 70 healthy smoothie recipes roundup, I brought in dietitian friends from across the country. Every recipe here is designed to be balanced, nourishing, and actually keep you full.

To make it easy to find what you’re looking for, I organized everything into categories:

  • Citrus & tropical
  • Berry-based favorites
  • Banana-based smoothies
  • Green smoothies (great for adding veggies)
  • Protein-focused options
  • Unique ingredients (like spirulina, maca, and more)
  • Unusual veggie blends (beets, carrots, greens)
  • Chocolate smoothies
  • Smoothie bowls
  • Pumpkin & dessert-inspired options

Whether you want something quick for breakfast, a post-workout smoothie, or a more creative blend, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.
