The Ultimate Healthy Energy Smoothie Recipes
I’ve really been wanting to share a fun energy smoothie recipe for a while now, and I was originally going to make it pregnancy focused, but quickly realized that ALL mamas could use a pep in their step every single day. I shared on Facebook this morning (if you aren’t following along over there check me out for some fun behind the scenes stuff!), how I woke up absolutely starving and really do try to start my day with a super healthy meal – because I KNOW that my day always ended with ice cream (since I’ve been preggers)! This ultimate energy smoothie recipe will seriously give your whole family the energy that they need to power through the day.
Chris was off yesterday, so we went for a run together in the morning and then stopped at the grocery store so that I could seriously get one of everything in the tropical fruit section! My body was going through some major cravings, obviously. Pineapple, papaya and watermelon all have energy producing qualities and add so many important vitamins and minerals to this green energy smoothie that are perfect to help give you a boost.
The easiest green energy smoothie recipe
I know you are thinking ‘how the heck did that smoothie turn out green?” After adding all my fruit and other ingredients (full recipe below), I added a small scoop of Arbonne Essentials Green Balance (buy it on Amazon HERE), which gives you an extra boost of veggie and fruit nutrients – perfect for busy mamas! It adds so many wonderful vitamins and minerals that we often over look or if helps if we aren’t eating as balanced as we should be. It’s a truly great thing to have on hand to add to smoothies.
- ½ cup of unsweetened almond or coconut milk
- 3-4 ice cubes
- ½ cup diced and seeded watermelon
- ½ cup fresh papaya
- ½ cup fresh pineapple
- ½ tsp Arbonne Essentials Green Balance
- Throw everything into your blender and blend!
Lastly, if you are looking for an awesome food processor or blender to have handy, I am absolutely obsessed with our Ninja! There are so many different sizes of containers and it literally blends in seconds – shop it HERE where it’s currently only sale for only $60! What do you do for a morning energy boost? This health energy smoothie recipes can easily be altered to fit your favorite fruit and veggie likes and dislikes – the options are endless, as long as you’re starting your day on a health note.
Fashionably Yours,

This looks soooo good! I need as much energy as I can get with three kiddos 🙂
This sounds like a wonderful energy smoothie recipe as well as being healthy for everyone. I love Arbonne products but have not yet tried the Essentials Green Balance. The papaya, watermelon, and pineapple make an interesting mix so I will have to try this smoothie for sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
