Simply Delicious And Healthy Smoothies Slideshow
The 2 Cookin' Mamas call this drink "apple pie in a glass," and I have to agree with them. This lovely smoothie embodies all the great seasonal treats of fall. Cinnamon, cider, nutmeg, and, of course, apples will have you feeling autumnal even before the leaves start changing colors.
Chocolate Cherry Recovery Smoothie
When I saw this recipe from Snacking in Sneakers, the combination of chocolate and cherry made me want to run home and make it (and then drink it and recover). This smoothie provides the carbohydrates you need after a workout and also protein to keep you full.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Smoothie
You might be wondering, "How can chocolate peanut butter caramel smoothies be healthy?" Fortunately, Sweet and Spicy Monkey has the answer: By using dark cocoa powder, flax seed, oatmeal, and a homemade salted fruit caramel sauce, this smoothie is not as sinful as it looks.
Cranberry Beet Smoothie
Beets, cranberries, and strawberries make this stunning smoothie from A Dash of Megnut taste as good as it looks. The sweetness of the strawberries and banana complement the earthiness of the beets and the tartness of the fresh cranberries. If you want to spice it up, add some freshly grated ginger.
Dragon Fruit, Coconut, Mango Smoothie
Dragon fruit is an aesthetically striking fruit, but its subtle flavor and creamy flesh makes it the perfect addition to a smoothie. The Hungry Goddess says that when paired with mango, "dragon fruit gives us the perfect vibrational color to match our solar plexus chakra."

This recipe from The Picky Eater is a classic but elegant interpretation of a green smoothie. The freshness of the kale is balanced out by the tartness of the apple and pear. A spoonful of almond butter rounds out the flavor.

This smoothie from The Hungary Buddah will transform any mundane breakfast into a tropical experience. The smoothie is so rich and creamy that it's almost dessert, but, hey, we're not complaining.
