Go nuts: Add a handful of nuts, nut butters or nut milk to your smoothie for a creamier texture and a healthy dose of good-for-you unsaturated fat and protein. The Fresh Market Almond Milk is a great choice, with more calcium than a glass of cow’s milk and a smooth texture you’ll love.
Go natural: If you’re avoiding processed sugar and prefer natural sweeteners, try adding pitted dates, honey or real maple syrup.
Chill out: Adding frozen fruit to the mix keeps your smoothie thick and creamy. It also removes the need to add ice, frozen yogurt or sorbet. If you’re a fruit smoothie fan, try our delicious recipe here.
Plant a seed: Try adding chia, flax or hemp seeds for a boost of omega-3 fatty acids. They’re also great for adding texture and crunch to a smoothie bowl.
Try something new: Try steaming frozen cauliflower and adding it to your smoothie instead of banana. Cauliflower will help create the creamy, frothy texture you want, without adding sugar.
Eat more chocolate: Chocolate-lovers are in luck! Cacao is considered one of nature’s superfoods. The raw powerhouse is rich in critical antioxidants—plus, adding cacao to your smoothies infuses them with a delicious chocolatey flavor.
Be bold: Sprinkle fresh-grated ginger, turmeric or cinnamon in your smoothie. These spices add a delicious, warm flavor and are also believed to reduce inflammation.
Switch it up: Instead of reaching for fruit juice, try coconut water instead. This will cut down on the amount of sugar and give you a boost of potassium and hydration.
Veg out: Eat more vegetables by incorporating them into your smoothies. Veggies like zucchini, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, spinach, kale and even cucumbers are perfect contenders.
