Bananarama Superfood Smoothie

Bananarama Superfood SmoothieI admit it, I’m addicted! Addicted to superfood smoothies. I like to think of it as a healthy addiction :)

Not only do I love the taste, how I feel after drinking, and the health benefits, tossing a variety of superfoods into my blender is flat out fun. Thankfully, I’m not the only one who share’s this passion.

When I bump heads with a fellow superfood smoothie maker recipes like this ensue. This recipe was inspired by my friend, Ian, a seasoned superfood smoothie maker himself.

Guacamole Green Smoothie

Guacamole Green Smoothie

I love guacamole just as much as the next person, but a guacamole smoothie didn’t sound that appetizing for whatever reason. Glad I gave it a blend because it turned out great.

Cantaloupe Kefir Smoothie

Alas, my first smoothie featuring the delightful cantaloupe is here :)

I picked up a nice ripe cantaloupe from my co-op yesterday specifically to make this smoothie recipe, which was gifted to me by a faithful reader. Thanks, Mari!

For whatever reason I haven’t been consuming much melon lately, but that’s going to change. The cantaloupe and this smoothie were ridiculously delicious.

Cantaloupe is rich in vitamins A and C and is a good source of potassium and beta-carotene. This nutrient profile offers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support to your body.

Spicy Arugula Smoothie

Spicy Arugula SmoothieIf you dig the peppery, spicy flavor of arugula then you’re going to love this smoothie. If you’re not a fan of arugula then I suggest finding another healthy smoothie to kick-start your day with.

Arugula is one of my favorite greens. I get excited like a kid in a candy store when it’s available through my local CSA. I typically combine arugula with other greens to make a spicy salad mix, and occasionally toss it into my blender to spice up my smoothie.

Besides being decidedly delicious, arugula offers some fantastic health benefits.
