Smoothies are a delicious and convenient way to get a variety of nutrients into your diet, especially when incorporating superfoods.

In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 superfood smoothie combinations that include ingredients like coconut, maca, goji berries, cacao, chia seeds, and spirulina to help nourish your body and energize your day.
What are superfoods?
Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that are especially rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. These foods are believed to offer excellent health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Although there is no official definition of superfoods, they are typically whole foods—such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and certain grains—that are recognized for their high nutritional content and potential to promote health and wellness. Some examples of commonly recognized superfoods include berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries), leafy vegetables (such as kale, spinach, and Swiss chard), nuts and seeds (such as almonds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fatty fish (such as salmon and sardines), whole grains (such as quinoa and oats) and certain spices (such as turmeric and cinnamon). These foods are often praised for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, among other health benefits. Incorporating a variety of superfoods into your diet can help support overall health and vitality.

Tips to make a better smoothie:
– Use frozen fruit instead of ice.
– First mix slowly, until all the ingredients are incorporated, and then increase the speed. Blend for about 1 minute for a super smoothie. 🙂
– Use a Vitamix! What I use and love is here.
– Add some extra nutrition. My FAVORITE way to do this is with Daily Nutritional Support. I drink it every day! You can check it here and use FITNESSISTA10. It is packed with vitamins, minerals and has 15g of vegetable protein per serving.
– Add protein powder or yogurt for a protein boost. I like Truvani and NOW Food (code FITNESSISTA) most for protein powders.
