Two big handfuls of spinach may make this smoothie look like green juice, but the unique trio of mango, banana, and cashews make it taste like a milkshake. With the filling fiber of the fruit plus the satisfying fats from the nuts, and is less likely to lead to a sugar crash.

8. Power Smoothie

If oats for breakfast sound too boring, you might prefer puréeing them in this much more creative smoothie. With the whole grains providing metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits, and the blueberries boasting one of the highest antioxidant capacities of all berries.

This pastel blend gets its three shades of green from vitamin C-rich honeydew, lutein- and zeaxanthin-boasting spinach (good for eye health), and kale, which is a surprising source of calcium. A few generous dollops of Greek yogurt add about 11 grams of protein. Pulsed into a frosty frenzy.

16. Green Smoothie Without Banana

No need for a juicer! Using pear and almond milk helps the leafy greens process in a blender so there's no bits in your sip. Cinnamon and ginger help ensure it's not grassy tasting, and the pear makes it surprisingly smooth.
