10 Yummy Smoothie Recipes You Can Blend Up Quick & Easily!

There's nothing like sharing helpful news about a product or something great to eat or drink. So you readers are in luck, because this article is about all three!

Allow me a few moments to tell you about the NutriBullet I have at home, and the delicious, mouth watering smoothies you can make with it. But don't think for a moment that you have to have a NutriBullet for the recipes I plan to share. Whenever you're ready to try these beverages out, you can make them with just about any blender.

I realize there’s a huge amount of great food and recipe sites and stories to visit and read online. They’re scattered all over the place, and that’s part of the problem. You tend to bounce around looking for them.

Personally, I like to have a nice online list of recipes, all in one place, just like with a cookbook. That way, instead of going out, spending money on smoothies, and other types of blended drinks, I can create my own.

In fact, I’ve been even thinking about growing some of the veggies that typically get thrown in the blender when I create my smoothies.

The blender that helped me make my smoothie creations

Let me make it perfectly clear, if you already have a decent blender that's perfectly alright.

I'm not pushing you to go out and get a new blender, although I love the one I got and it really serves my purpose.

Anyway, any blender is fine, just as long as you have a decent one that can handle all the tasty recipes, including the vegetable smoothies I talk about in that ONE other story about healthy eating habits.

The blender:

The one I told you about is s Nutribulle. The model I have is called the NutriBullet ZNBF30500Z Blender Combo 1200 Watt, 1200W.

I still can’t believe this is not even the one I initially wanted. I wanted the smaller version, but between me and my son, we get so much use out of this one, I’m glad he bought it for me.

Like I said, whatever blender you have on hand, you’ll enjoy the following smoothies, especially when you start adding your personal touch to them.
