6 Fruits and Vegetables Healthy Smoothie Recipes that will give you energy all day long
My kids leave for school at all hours in the morning so my goal is to make them something quick and healthy! Smoothies are the ultimate way to jam pack as much nutrition as possible into one drink. These 6 Superfood Smoothies are the perfect meal and full of vitamins which will keep them energized and their minds sharp. The key is the smoothies must taste amazing or my kids won’t drink them! I sneak in handfuls of spinach without them even detecting it since it has such a mild flavor yet is such a nutritional powerhouse.
Since smoothies are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and protein — the options are endless. We mix it up with lots of variety so the smoothies don’t get boring. I am posting our fabulous six superfood smoothies which are filled with superfoods that will start your mornings off right.
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE HEALTHY JOURNEY:
Here is where I am going to get a little personal. I was a healthy and active girl when I got hit with an autoimmune disease that rocked my world. I visited the doctor and he performed an insane amount of blood tests to figure out what was going on with my body.
I was dealing with the debilitating effects of several autoimmune diseases — rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis diseases, among others.
I didn’t think I would be dealing with arthritis in my 30’s! My weight had even skyrocketed for no apparent reason (which will put any woman in a tailspin).
After many blood tests confirmed I was dealing with several autoimmune issues, I was referred to both a rheumatologist and endocrinologist to deal with the effects of my immune system going haywire. The specialists wanted to put me on a host of medications to help with the swelling and inflammation, all with a list of negative side effects. I felt as if I was ALWAYS at the doctor. I didn’t want to just put on a band-aid.
I went home and my husband and I just sobbed together on the couch (which he may not like me admitting publicly since he is not a crier), afraid of what the future might hold. After a good cry, I felt determined to figure out what the ROOT cause of my health issues was. I started studying like crazy. I began driving around to every library in town, picking up stacks of health books, and researching everything I could about my disease. I became a full-on nerd!
I kept reading over and over about the powerful healing powers of whole foods. After much research, I decided to implement a 30-day healthy food plan. It included only cold-pressed juices, whole food smoothies, vegetables, fresh fruit, fish, and chicken. Nothing else.
Being the baker that I am, it just about killed me! Okay truth be told….in reality, it gave me new life! I supplemented my diet with a whole host of herbs that help with inflammation and autoimmune disorders. I filled my refrigerator with the freshest ingredients and spent hours at a time creating smoothies and filling glass jars with them. I drank everything from raw fermented beet juice to cleanse my liver to lemon turmeric drinks to help calm my inflammation.
Here is a photo that was taken in Texas of a week’s worth of healthy whole foods that I ate to try to heal myself and relieve some of my symptoms. It’s amazing at what happened after going 30 days eating this way!
After several weeks, my swelling drastically improved and I was able to move around with ease. The best part was going to visit the doctor for another round of blood tests and finding out that the most alarming results were reversed! I still had a long way to go but this was a start. I still have to treat my Hashimoto’s thyroiditis disease with Synthroid but I have found some natural supplements to help me feel better. I am not a doctor but will share some things that have helped me.
Here are some of the healing vitamins, herbs and supplements that have helped me with my autoimmune diseases:

Stress Reduction Herbs — Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Siberian Ginseng, Perfect Calm Multivitamin. Holy Basil— helps calm, reduce stress and adrenal support

If you would like to know specifically what I did to help mine and what I continue to do to stay off medication (besides my thyroid medication for Hashimoto’s disease since my thyroid no longer functions), you can reach out to me at melissa@modernhoney.com.
If you would like to sign up for my newsletter, I will include the specific things that have helped me in my health journey. You can find me on instagram @modern_honey.
List of Healthy Superfoods:
- Kale – insanely low in calories, powerful anti-oxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, and helpful for arthritis and autoimmune diseases
- Spinach – the beauty of spinach lies in how easy it is to disguise the taste. It’s mild tasting yet packed with vitamins, has anti-cancerous properties, and is one of the healthiest foods on the planet
- Blueberries – one of the highest antioxidant capacities of all fruit which helps to combat free radicals in your body
- Strawberries – just one serving provides more vitamin c than an orange while being low in natural sugars
- Greek Yogurt – double the protein and half the carbs as regular yogurt
- Cucumber – since it’s 95% water, it’s an incredible detoxifier and helps with liver and kidney function
- Lemon – one of the most important items to stock in your kitchen as it’s a highly effective cleansing agent and cuts through the bitterness of greens
- Banana – an essential in smoothies as it adds creaminess, a touch of sweetness, and helps you feel full longer plus, it’s rich in potassium and fiber and gives you natural energy
- Turmeric – anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties
- Ginger – aids in digestion and supports the immune system
- Chia + Flaxseeds – rich is Omega-3 and fiber benefits
After years and years of my mother-in-law telling me that the Vitamix is the greatest appliance ever made, I bit the bullet and bought one. I am so grateful because I use it every single day. Plus, it purees the spinach so much that you can’t taste it at all. It’s seriously amazing! You can buy one here.

For extra detoxification benefits, a lemon turmeric flush first thing in the morning will do the trick. This isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s super simple.
Lemon Turmeric Flush Drink:
- 2 cups Water
- 1 Lemon, squeezed
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or 1 Tablespoon Honey or Real Maple Syrup

Mix together, water, lemon juice, turmeric, ginger, cayenne pepper (optional) and cinnamon. Add stevia, honey or maple syrup to taste. The cayenne pepper adds a kick to it so not everyone can handle it.

If I am suffering from anything – from allergies to autoimmune issues to overeating the night before, this helps to clean out my liver and belly. I woke up this morning with swollen eyes caused by allergies and this drink helped the swelling go down quickly. You can drink it heated up or drink it cold straight out of the refrigerator. We make a large pitcher and keep in the refrigerator to last a week. We give it a good stir and guzzle it down.

Happy Blending!
You can also find a recipe for my pitaya dragon fruit smoothie bowl HERE.
Do you use fresh Tumaric and ginger or powdered?
And thanks for sharing your story! So interesting! You are amazing!
Thanks so much, my friend! I use powder for the most part for ease. I do love the flavor of fresh ginger so I use that half of the time. I add more tumeric to my smoothies than I put in the recipes just because it helps me so much. Great question Robin! 🙂
Is there a recipe for the lemon tumric flush?
Hi Diane! Yes! I do have one and since so many people have been asking for it, I will update my website later this afternoon with the recipe. You can also sign up for the newsletter to get more information as well. Thank you for visiting!
Hi Melissa I have been to knee doctors for the pain in my knees. One says artiritis, one says inflammation. Got an injection that lasted 3 days. lm still hurting and knee swollen. Can’t sleep at night for the pain, feels like something pulling in my knee, sometimes makes a popping noise.hurts to turn feel like it wants to snap into. In the daytime when I sit for a while, it hurts so bad when I get up to walk.Please help in terrible pain. Thank you.
I am so sorry that you are experiencing so much pain. It can be debilitating and frustrating. I dealt with popping knees for awhile and the crackling sound was so loud. I was able to turn it around. I am not a doctor but I can give you some advice that I hope can help you. I would suggest tumeric which helps with inflammation. You can buy it in the capsule form and swallow it with water. You can also add ground tumeric into your smoothies. Another thing you can try is called, Celadrin and it’s specifically for joints. You can buy it online or at Costco. High quality fish oils can be incredible for joints to help lubricate them. Also, food can be extremely healing so try to fill your diet with leafy greens (you can try my youthful green smoothie), vegetables, fruits, lean protein and try to stay away from gluten, dairy, fried foods, and sugar. Give it one month of taking those supplements and changing your diet and see how you feel. I wish you the very best and hope and pray that you get feeling better. Thank you for reaching out.
I may try the cherry smoothie today! Being obsessed with your youthful glow green smoothie I HAVE noticed a difference. (I add a tsp of honey for add’l sweetness – doesn’t need it, but my sweet tooth likes it) First of all, I crave it morning and night, and I feel great knowing I can drink a salad twice a day. Great job on your website, Melissa! Your pictures, recipes, and blogs are fantastic!
You are my inspiration! Love that you keep on drinking it. I feel incredible when I am consistently drink the youthful glow green smoothie too. xo
Cute spelling of your name!
Thank you Melissa! I suffer from these issues too and I can’t wait to try them and begin to feel better!
So if you make a pitcher of the lemon turmeric drink, what quantities do you use of each item? Sounds interesting. (And the smoothies look amazing!)
What is pure apple juice? Do I have to get it at a special store? Also do you use a fancy blender? I heard someone say that only the fancy blenders get the spinach fine enough that you don’t taste the bits of spinach. I want to try this green smoothy cuz I never eat spinach or kale, but know how good they are for you.
Hi friend! It sounds so fancy but it’s really just apple juice you pick up at the grocery store such as Tree Top or Mott’s. You absolutely can make this in a regular blender! You may need to blend it a little longer to make sure the spinach gets nice and smooth but it will still do the job. Start with using all spinach in the recipe, instead of 1/2 spinach and 1/2 kale and see what you think. Drink this down so you can eat a cookie after lunch is my motto. xoxo
It’s so refreshing to visit a site like this and NOT see the proprietor pushing high end / high cost gadgets and supplements. For that alone, you would have my respect even if your recipes weren’t delicious and healthy, which definitely isn’t the case. Thank you! Emma x
I love the glasses! Where did you get them? They make these healthy smoothies look spectacular!
Thank you! I fell in love with them and had to have them. They went on sale and I snatched them up. They are still available at Cost Plus World Market. You’ve got great style! 🙂
Melissa is mt niece but I am NOT bias at all! She is amazing like her mother when it comes to food and flavor. I just tried the Red Velvet sugar Cookie bars. They were awesome. They are a different texture than Red Velvet cake, a little thicker, but they taste just like it. And the frosting…well who doesn’t like cream cheese frosting??? Melissa you are amazing and I’m so glad you are sharing your talent with all of us!
Oh thank you, my wonderful Aunt Cindy! That is so unbelievably sweet of you to say. Thank you so much! I love you. 🙂 – Melissa
Do you use fresh fruit for these smoothies or frozen?
Hi Kristie! Great question! I use a lot of frozen fruit as it is usually very consistent since it is picked when it is ripe. It also allows my smoothies to get cold without adding ice. I hope that helps! –Melissa
These are super smoothies. I like them. I drink Turmeric- Lemon almost everyday first thing in the morning, with bit of pepper to ensure absorption of Curcumin in the Turmeric. Lovely.
Nimal Fernando, Sri Lanka
Love to hear that! That is so amazing to drink every morning. I always feel so much better when I do that too. Thank you for trying my recipe!
Are you still on a “healing” protocol diet or more just “healthy” protocol? Have you dealt with any anxiety along your path? How do you still implement all your yummy foods in your healthy diet? And lastly, what supplements do you feel like have made the biggest difference in your energy levels? I’m on my own healing journey for an auto immune disorder and it can be so overwhelming. Thanks in advance! Love, Kristina
Hi Kristina! These are some great questions! I need to be on a healthier protocol as I feel SO much better when I do. It really does help alleviate so many of my symptoms. I find that anxiety can creep in so when it does, I reach for certain herbs. This is what works for me so ask your naturopathic doctor for what may be best for you. I like Rhodiola, ashwagandha, and vitamin B-12, Vitamin D, magnesium (malate, citrate, glycinate), and siberian ginseng. Those can be powerful, especially the ginseng for energy levels. I hope that helps! All my best on your road to healing. — Melissa
So did you take all of your vitamins together? Because I was considering making some ginseng tea and take the vitamin D, Magnesuium, and the B12 together.
I would love to know more specifics of what you did to help heal yourself. I too suffer from many chronic, debilitating diseases. But I’ve tried every anti-inflammatory diet out there and don’t see much improvement. I do have many many health conditions I deal with though. Maybe I’m a lost cause- haha! But I’m not giving up. Maybe I need to try different supplements. Anyway- would love to hear more. Should I email you? Thx so much. This post was inspiring and gave me hope.
I would love to hear more about how to get my fridge looking like yours did (picture of your weeks of eating). Did you make your smoothies ahead of time? How far in advance can you make them and how do you keep them from loosing nutrients (or do they)?
I have unexplainable health issues (headaches, fatigue, aches and pains) and my physical came out with me being perfectly healthy. I need my energy and strength back for the sake of our little kids. I feel whole foods diet might be the best thing to try to remedy some of this. But with three little ones I need to be very prepared or eating healthy goes out the window.
Thank you for the Tumeric drink recipe. I just prepared a jug this morning and look forward to adding it to my morning regime.
Hi Colleen! I am so sorry you are dealing with health issues. It is tough! I do make my smoothies ahead of time when I am doing a strict smoothie and juice cleanse. It just makes it so much easier. I usually do 3-5 days worth of smoothies at a time but it all depends on how much room you have in your refrigerator. I usually give it a good shake and stir it with a straw and the smoothie comes back together. I find that keeping them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days works fine for me. I hope that helps! — Melissa
Thank you for sharing your story. My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and it has set me on a path similar to yours. I have Made a beets, kale, Swiss chard, chia, wheat grass and pineapple, and blueberry smoothie every morning. I am Going to try all of your recipes. Yesterday, we went to The doctor and to everyone’s surprise, her symptoms are gone Afro now!!! I believe In The whole food diet.
Oh my heart hurts when I hear of little ones dealing with autoimmune issues. That is so tough! It sounds like you are making some incredibly healthy and delicious smoothies for her. I am so glad to hear that it is helping! There is power in healing foods. Take care! — Melissa
Do you make any of these and store them in the fridge in a mason jar? How long do they stay good? Any of them that discolor or separate too much to store?
Hi Lauren! I make them days in advance and put them in a mason jar and place them in the refrigerator. When I am ready to drink them, I give them a good shake and then stir them with a straw. The smoothies come back together and taste amazing. I hope that helps!
Hi! Do you even include the bananas when you premake them? And Greek yogurt (I think I saw that in there…), or do you blend those sensitive ingredients in once you are preparing to drink them?
I AM GOING TO TRY THE SMOOTHIES AND OTHER RECIPES THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS MARY RODRIGUEZ
Thank you so much, Mary! God Bless You, too. I
Hello! The wine glases are sooooooooooooo cute. Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering in your Pinterst picture with the mason jars….Did you make each juice separately and then combine them depending on the recipe?
Hi Beverly! I actually made all kinds of smoothies and juices but drank them straight from the jar and didn’t combine them. It made it much easier as I could just shake the jar and drink it. I would make enough for about 5 days so I didn’t even have to think about it. I hope that helps! — Melissa
Hi Melissa, I came across this just looking for some nice summer smoothie recipes, and then I read your story. It resonated with me because I have been dealing with a lot of pain and inflammation, seen all kinds of doctors and gotten no answers. I’ve begun looking into changing my diet. Eliminating gluten first, then maybe sugar and dairy. But of course, I love all of these things! I’m curious to know if when you started the whole food diet as you call it, and started feeling a difference, you stopped eating sugar and gluten altogether? You seem to be such a baker and have so many delicious looking sweets on your blog… do you ever still indulge?
Hi Serafina! This is a fabulous question. I love baked goods so it was very hard for me to give it all up for a period of time. I went through different stages — when I first eliminated most foods, I had headaches and didn’t feel that great. I wasn’t until I broke through that initial hard stage that I felt so much sharper and energetic. Now, I still eat gluten, dairy, and sugar (even though I feel much better when I don’t) but I mix in a lot of healthy foods to balance it all out. Wishing you all the best! — Melissa
Hi Melissa!
I found your blog while looking up some great smoothies as my 13yo son & I are trying to eat more healthy as I am also trying to avoid going on medication for cholesterol. I also have several auto immune disorders and so your post was just what I needed. I do have a questions that someone asked, but I did not see a reply. How long do these last if made in advance (like in your picture) and did you drink one for b-fast & lunch and then have a regular meal for dinner consisting of healthy items?
Thank you for your blog as I loved learning about the herbs & vitamins that can help with some of my issues.
Look forward to reading more from your posts.

Hi! That is such a great question! When I made these ahead of time, I would make enough for about 5 days. I would drink about 4-6 per day and then eat a big plate of veggies (sometimes with some fish). I would just put them in jars and then shake them well as they do separate. They kept in the refrigerator, no problem. I hope that helps!
I started making these for my kids snacks twice a day. They slurp them down and I love that they are getting all of there fruits and veg for the day. So whatever they eat with meals is a bonus vitamin intake. Thanks so much. They love the green goddess.
Hi Malissa! I love to hear that. You just made my day! I am amazed when I do the nutritional information for these smoothies as to how much good vitamins and minerals are in them. I am so glad your family is loving them. Thank you!
I’m so glad I found this site! Just a little back ground on me, I’m a 30 yr old woman, never had any health issues, always active. March 2017 my mom passed away at age 52 of a massive heart attack in her sleep. It wasn’t a good place for me. Fast forward to a year later, February 2018 I went to the dr for the first time since 2013, I had a over all Check and a ekg, my heart was good… my blood work, not so good. My thyroid levels were super high..TSH-<0.01,T4 Free- 3.78,T3-389.1
I was referred to the endocrinologist, end of April, she did more lab work, sent me for a ultrasound, put me on methinzole The ultrasound cane back with a nodule, 2 wks later went for a biopsy, it came back benign.
I don’t want to be on meds my whole life! I’m looking for great recipes in smoothies! Thanks!
Hyperthyroidism.. Graves’ disease.. it takes over my life, some days I feel like I have no energy, no drive. Some days I’d rather stay in bed.. thank you for your encouragement!
Hi Jennifer! I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. That is so tough as she was so young! That is heartbreaking. Research has shown that stress can wreak havoc on our bodies. When all of my autoimmune issues flared up, I was in a highly stressful time of life so I understand. I do believe in the power of healing alkaline foods that help our immune system. I hope that these smoothies help you and give you some energy. I understand how you feel and wish you all the best! — Melissa
I have tried so many protein powders, do you have a plant to based one that you prefer?
Hi Alissa! If you peeked into my protein shake cabinet, you would see that I have tried so many as well! I am picky especially with plant-based ones. They tend to have a stronger flavor than whey so it is harder to disguise them. Whole Foods has one that is pretty good and it is their own brand so it is relatively cheaper and goes on sale a lot. I wish that I had one that I just LOVED but I am still searching. I will keep you posted when I find my absolute favorite!
My daughter does not like to eat much food in the morning. My concern was “small amounts of food means small amounts of nutrition.”. I decided fruit smoothies were the way to go. Fruit, milk and yogurt is our typical smoothie. These change it up a bit!
That’s such a great idea! This is the way to sneak in nutrition into my children’s diet. If they start the day with a smoothie, then I know they are on their way to getting their vitamins and minerals for the day. Glad this is helpful for you. Have a great day! — Melissa
Hi Melissa what an inspiration you are. I to have become a nerd 🤓 over the years from researching all I can to overcome various autoimmune diseases like Lymes & M.E. Like you I have come so very far, I was housebound 6 years ago & now am back to work part time.
One important thing I have learnt is healing the wounds of my past & learning to validate my emotions as I had realised I surpressed my emotions for years & it manifested in my body & my body was shouting at me. People like Heidi Sawyer & Wendy De Rosa have helped me to understand my gift of sensitivity & how ignoring my feelings had manifested in my body. Finding the true me is one of the blessings of doing inner work not to mention healing my body. It takes a lot of energy to suppress emotions.
I felt called to share my story with you.
Hi Sara my name is Mary and I am having some issues right now and I believe it may have to do with some stress of my past and present. Could you please contact me so I can find out what you did because I am having all kinds of illnesses and been in and out the hospital only to be told they can’t find anything wrong with me. All they want to do is put me on anxiety medicine. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
Is it ok to use frozen fruit?
Good morning Melissa,
I just came across your blog and I so love it and thank you for everything. Melissa I need your help with some remedies. First off my name is Mary and I am 52 years of age. Two weeks ago I was driving my car and all of a sudden I felt as if I couldn’t breathe. Since then I have been in 5 ER’s, had all kinds of blood work that all came back normal. I saw an endocrinologist because I have thyroid nodules and my doctor isn’t doing much of anything except saying take anxiety medicine. I feel as if I can’t breathe and I am very week. I feel like something is missing from my immune system. The endocrinologist says it will be 3 weeks before he gets my needle stick test back which was done 2 days ago (I never heard of test taking that long). Each time I went to ER and the Endocrinologist they say my thyroid levels were okay which I know couldn’t be true. Three weeks in now and I have no energy and still can’t sleep with breathing issues. I would love to make some of your smoothies because I truly believe something is going on with my immune system. I have been off work for 2 weeks and today I tried to go but I was too week and sick. All of these doctors and still no answer. I asked my doctor to check my vitamin D levels and my ferritin but none has been done. I just want to feel better and get back to myself. I don’t want to take all these meds which are only treating symptoms and not the issue. Thank you for time and have a wonderful day.
I had thyroid nodules too and my levels were always normal. Mine kept growing and I eventually had to have them removed surgically. Much easier to swallow now! I don’t think your tiredness and sickness is from that problem. I never felt sick or too weak to work. Hope the smoothies work for you.
I thank you for sharing your wisdom and guidance on the topic. I really would like to know do you add oatmeal to your smoothies? I find that this is the only way that I get full and satisfied from smoothies but it is a mucus producing food. I am getting over pneumonia and I’m really trying to detox and work on my diet like going vegetarian but I would really like to give smoothies and juicing a try. I definitely deal with inflammation so I will be trying the recommended tumeric and lemon drink. Thank you so much again and peace and blessings to you.
I saw it okay to eliminate the bananas from these recipes? I am not a big fan and they tend to overwhelm the taste for me
could I use hot choxolate instead of chocolate protein powder?
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes, I look forward to trying them and everything looks delicious! Me and my partner have to radically change the kind of food that we’re eating for health reasons, and at first we were bummed at having to give up some of our favorite foods, but looking at all your delicious ideas actually makes me look forward to the change and all the benefits that will come with it. Thank you!
So glad I am across these smoothie recipes! I make them everyday for my husband. 3-4 per day! He loves them! I even give some to our 7 month old baby boy and he loves them too! My husband has felt such a difference sense drinking these everyday for the past 2 weeks! Thanks for sharing.
