Smoothies are a great way to pack lots of nutrition into a delicious drink. They can be made from fresh ingredients you likely already have on hand and are ready in just a few minutes. Here are some easy 5-minute smoothie recipes to get your day started on a healthy note.

Banana Berry Smoothie: Blend 1 banana, 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1 cup milk or milk alternative like almond milk or yogurt, and a handful of spinach or kale. The banana provides creaminess while the berries add sweetness. Add a bit of honey if needed.

Tropical Green Smoothie: Blend 1 banana, 1 cup chopped mango, 1 cup coconut milk or orange juice, and 2 cups spinach. The mango and banana provide natural sweetness to balance the spinach. For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder.

Peanut Butter Smoothie: Blend 2 bananas, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 cups milk, and a few ice cubes. The peanut butter adds protein and healthy fats to keep you full, while the bananas create a creamy base. Use almond butter instead for a nut-free option.

Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie: Blend 1 banana, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. The oats, almond butter, and cinnamon combine for an oatmeal cookie flavor in a smoothie.

Avocado Smoothie: Blend 1 avocado, 1 banana, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup coconut milk, and the juice of 1 lime. The avocado creates an ultra-creamy base while providing healthy fats. The lime juice adds a bright pop of citrus. Sweeten with a bit of honey if desired.
