2 Easy Smoothie Recipes | 4 Simple Ingredients + Tips

, ,

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed over the last several years that when I start my morning off right, I’m more productive and make better food choices throughout the day. 

One of my absolute favorite ways to get a healthy start to the day is by making juice or smoothies. Now, I know we’ve all seen on social media complicated smoothie bowl recipes with a long list of ingredients–and to be honest, I’m not sure how we managed to make something as simple as a smoothie into a whole big thing.

So today, I’m sharing with you my two go-to simple and healthy 4-ingredient smoothie recipes to get your day started off right. 

This is a great place to start if you are looking to eat more plant based or want to become a vegan. These smoothies are quick, hassle-free, and packed with flavor and nutrients.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie Recipe

This healthy breakfast smoothie is perfect for anyone that loves the classic PB&J flavor and wants a healthier whole-foods version. It’s slightly sweet, filling, and creamy because of the plant based milk.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries

  • Half of a banana

  • 1 tsp peanut butter

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk

Instructions:

  1. Put all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until smooth*



Green Smoothie Recipe

This nutrient-dense smoothie makes getting your greens SO easy and delicious. It’s refreshing, light, and healthy.

Ingredients:

  • 2 handfuls spinach

  • Half of a banana

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 cups frozen mango

Instructions:

  1. Put all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until smooth*

*Notes

I really recommend using a high powered blender to make your smoothies creamy and smooth. If you don’t have a high powered blender, you may need to add a bit more liquid to these recipes. 

I recommend using frozen fruit so you don’t need to add ice.

These 4-ingredient smoothie recipes are so simple and delicious. My personal favorite is the green smoothie because it’s refreshing and sweet, but the Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie is my go-to because I always have blueberries and peanut butter on hand.
