Smoothies are a great way to get a daily dose of vitamins, minerals, and protein. To make it easier, you can put a variety of fruit, vegetables, and other desired ingredients in small freezer bags for a quick and simple way to have everything ready for smoothie time. For instance, many health-focused people peel and freeze their overripe bananas so that they always have some available. Frozen bananas, in particular, help make smoothies thicker and frothier—plus it means you don't need to use blade-dulling ice cubes in the blender to produce a cold and refreshing drink.

    Enjoy a peach melba smoothie year-round by blending frozen peaches and raspberries. When these fabulous fruits are in season, you can try mixing them fresh for an even better experience.

Either way, this drink mirrors a sunrise or sunset that's perfect to start or end your day with.

    Full of antioxidants, this smoothie is full of superfoods that help fight diseases, take care of the heart, and help you age beautifully. It's also allergy-friendly with its gluten-free and dairy-free properties, like coconut water, berries, banana, and protein powder.

    You can use an array of berries, like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries in this recipe. For an even more nutritious meal, select organic or wild berries that don't have harmful chemicals. If this isn't possible, frozen berries are a great compromise.

    Mango is somewhat of an underrated fruit, but it provides tons of nutrients like vitamins A, B, and C. This tropical fruit helps contribute to a healthy immune function, good blood pressure, and strong vision and bones.

    The mix of strawberry, mango, almond milk, and Greek yogurt is incredible. Plus, it's tangy, refreshing, and pretty in pink.

    There are many types of tropical smoothies you can make. For example, one delicious family-favorite smoothie calls for a mix of crushed pineapple, kiwifruit, orange, mango, and bananas.

    You could also go for something different, like the tizana, which is a classic Venezuelan drink. It's similar to sangria but can be made as a smoothie with pineapple, mango or papaya, strawberries, grapes, bananas, and oranges. Add a little orange juice and frozen limeade mix for that special tropical taste.
