Get your smoothie fix with these delicious smoothie recipes. Each filled with all the flavor of your favorite classics at the smoothie shop but using real whole food ingredients and natural sweeteners. These smoothies would be a great way to refuel post workout or make them for a refreshing and healthy snack.

If you’re watching your sugar intake, it’s important to note, while the sugar content of smoothies is typically pretty high, the majority of sugar in these smoothies is naturally occurring from the fruit. What you can control is the amount of added sugars in your smoothie, which will differ based on the brand and type of yogurt, protein powder, or milk used to make the recipe. Be sure to read nutritional labels to make healthier choices, low in added sugars.
