3 delicious Superfood Smoothies that you’ll love!
January is all about making healthy choices, and what better way to kick start the year than having a delicious superfood smoothie, right? Because drinking a big glass of smoothie is the quickest and easiest way to get in your fruits and veggies. Today I want to share with you 3 delicious recipes, that are all loaded with fresh fruits, vegetables, and superfoods, yet they all taste like a treat. Aaaaaand they look super pretty and absolutely insta-worthy (the most important thing ever!).
I have to admit, I never drink smoothies for breakfast (I prefer them as a little afternoon snack), but my boyfriend always starts his day with a big smoothie, so we pretty much became experts in smoothies. We usually just throw in the blender whatever fruit or veggie we have, but of course there are a few favorite recipes, that are just the best. These 3 superfood smoothie recipes are such favorite recipes too.
The measurement and quantities here are just guidelines, feel free to adjust the recipes to your liking. I like to use coconut water as a base for most smoothies, but regular water or any plant milk are a good choice as well.
Superfood Smoothies
- Yellow: The base of this smoothie is mango and orange juice, with a little kick of turmeric, ginger and cayenne pepper. It’s bright and sweet, perfect for these grey days.
- Green: Apple, kiwi and banana is always a winner combo, especially with kale and wheatgrass. It’s a great recipe to have a big portion of greens without even realizing it.
- Black: Oh, my favorite color ever! This cool black smoothie is not only delicious, thanks to the mix of berries and pineapple, but also extra healthy with the added charcoal.
If you try this recipe, let me know! I would highly appreciate if you could leave a comment and rate it. Also don’t forget to take a picture and tag it on Instagram (use the hashtag #greenevi) or post it on Facebook! I love seeing what you come up with! ♥︎

Beautiful colors! I’ve never heard about eating charcoal, I have to google that. 🙂
Thanks, Adina! It’s super trendy now, you can turn any food into black beauties with this 😛
I like your idea of having a smoothie as a mid day snack. I tend to think of smoothies only for breakfast and I never am hungry for breakfast yet I would like to include a smoothie during the day. Great way to start january
Thanks, Judee! I don’t know, I just never crave sweet things for breakfast, however I love a little treat in the afternoon 😉
The black smoothie looks amazing. I recently posted about the supplements I add in my smoothies on my lifestyle blog (left a link if you fancy a read). I usually have one each morning, alongside a sandwich.
Thanks, Anca! I’ll definitely check it out 😉
I will definitely try all three of these. And the black is so cool! (And super trendy as you said).
Hahaha, I’m a sucker for all these trendy things 😀
These kind of smoothies are such a great way to kickstart the day! I’m really intrigued by the activated charcoal. Does it alter the taste at all?
Hi Freya,
I personally don’t taste out the charcoal here, but if you you are not used to the taste of it, you might wanna start with a small amount and see if you like it 😉
Thanks for the heads up!
🙂
