Aloe Smoothie
Many people swear by aloe for glowing skin, and this smoothie is a delicious way to get it into your diet. You probably know aloe as a topical skin soother, but it also delivers antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Some people don’t love the flavor of aloe, so this recipe has plenty of fruit to help balance the flavors. Make sure you’re buying pure aloe vera meant for eating—or that you’ve got the correct aloe vera plant if you’re DIYing. Read more about aloe vera benefits and cautions.

This mango green smoothie gets bright tart flavor from frozen passion fruit and inflammation-fighting benefits from fresh kale. Dates add natural sweetness without added sugar. While cilantro may not be a typical smoothie ingredient, we love the herbal notes it adds to this smoothie. Feel free to leave it out if that’s not your thing—it’s just as delicious without.
Really Green Smoothie
The combination of kale and avocado makes this healthy smoothie recipe extra green. Chia seeds lend a heart-healthy punch of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Kale & Banana Smoothie
This simple and sweet kale and banana smoothie is also versatile: Use cow’s milk for a milkshake-style smoothie, oat milk for more sweetness, or a nut milk for more protein.
All Greens Smoothie Bowl
This smoothie combines the radiance-boosting power of green fruits and veggies, including watercress, which is high in phytonutrients and vitamins K, C and A. It also fits well into a 1200-calorie diet plan.
Mango & Kale Smoothie
The blend of kale, mango, banana and orange juice gives this healthy smoothie an extra-fresh tropical flavor profile.
Pineapple-Grapefruit Detox Smoothie
Pineapple, grapefruit and spinach are packed with water and minerals, which can help hydrate you and supply your body with a bounty of fiber too. Electrolyte-rich coconut water is a refreshing dairy-free substitute for yogurt or milk. If you have time, freeze the coconut water into cubes for an extra-frosty smoothie.
