With the semester in full swing, it can get harder and harder to eat healthy. Many days spent in the library studying or nights cramming before an exam can lead to the same inevitable end: junk food. Cravings between meals make us reach for something convenient, even if it’s not always the best option. But snacking doesn’t have to be synonymous with guilt. Actually, snacking can help prevent overeating at meals, help you to get nutrients, and keep your energy up throughout the day. And one great snack to turn to is a smoothie. They are quick, simple, and so delicious. So if you are ever reaching for those potato chips, try out one of these smoothie recipes to satisfy your hunger.
Mixed Berry This one is as simple as it gets. It is super filling and you can never go wrong with it. I usually make this for myself in the morning and take it in a to go cup to keep myself full before lunch. Just throw all the ingredients into a blender and you’re set. Ingredients
Peanut Butter Banana Calling all my sweet-tooth readers. This one is indulgent but of course, much healthier than most of the desserts we crave. Whenever I want a milkshake, this works as a great substitute. It is so easy to whip up and so satisfying. Again, it is super filling, so I will make it for breakfast or just as a snack when I want something sweet. Ingredients
Tropical Avocado I know what you’re thinking, avocado does not belong in a smoothie. But trust me on this, it belongs in this smoothie. Tropical Smoothie had an Avocolado smoothie last year, and this was my attempt to imitate it. I don’t know how true to form it actually is, but it turned out to be my favorite smoothie. Ingredients
