Smoothies, juices, and more
Just about everyone loves a freshly pressed juice or refreshing smoothie—what’s not to like? They taste great, pack a serious punch when it comes to vitamins and minerals, and offer a healthy way to boost your energy. Plus you can be as creative as you want, mixing and matching your favorite fruits, veggies, and add-ins. Your made-to-order drink can be silky smooth, thick and creamy, or even have a bit of texture. (Chia seeds, we’re looking at you.)
So check out some of our favorite recipes to get the creative (and nutritious) juices flowing.
