12 Healthy Smoothie Recipes That’ll Keep You Fueled All Day

 Start your day with a nutrient-packed sipper — or blend one up as a snack — thanks to these deliciously healthy smoothie recipes. While heaps of fresh fruit or a spinach-loaded salad might not make the most appealing breakfast recipe, you can blend them up for something far tastier with all the same vitamins and minerals.

But which combinations offer the best flavor and biggest nutrition punch? That’s where this list comes in. We rounded up smoothies that have a good balance of protein, fat and carbs to feel satisfying even after the last sip. We also looked for smoothies with vegetables or other healthy add-ins like seeds, yogurt, fresh herbs or nut butter. Prepare to start blending some next-level smoothies.
