What I Put in My Daily Smoothie | Healthy & Organic

One of the questions I get asked the most is: what’s in your smoothie every day? So I figured it was time to spill the superfood tea.

Let me just say up front, I go hard with my greens and all the good stuff. My view? If it’s good for me, I’ll find a way to make it work, even if it’s not exactly a tropical dessert fantasy. Smoothie time is nutrition time.

First, a Note on Ingredients

Everything I use is organic. Fruits, veggies, nuts, nut butters, protein powders, dates, superfoods, coconut water, all of it. If it’s not grown organically (with the rare exception), it’s likely grown with synthetic pesticides, sewage sludge, hexane, glyphosate, or other things I’d rather not sip on.

And yes, I can taste the difference.

Equipment Matters: Why I Recommend the Vitamix

Not all blenders are created equal. I’ve tried a few, and honestly, Vitamix wins every time, especially if you like packing in as many nutrients as I do. Their warranty is great, and their customer service is actually helpful. You can grab one online or from somewhere like Costco.

My Daily Smoothie Recipe

Start with 2 cups of a liquid base, filtered water or organic coconut water is my go-to. Nut milks can work too, just check the label for weird additives like carrageenan. (Studies suggest it may be linked to digestive inflammation or worse, so… hard pass.)

Then I blend in the following, 1–2 at a time:

• 1 banana (frozen or fresh)
• 1/3 cup of berries — blueberries, raspberries, blackberries (wild blueberries are best)
• 1 whole lemon — with or without the skin (if keeping the skin, scrub it with warm soapy water first)
• 1/3 cup of almonds or walnuts — raw, organic, unprocessed, unsalted
• Several leaves of greens — kale, spinach, beet greens, dandelion, Swiss chard, etc. I rotate daily
• A few stalks of parsley or cilantro
• 2 dates (pitted — trust me on this)
• 1 scoop of clean protein — I use Garden of Life Meal Replacement. Look for organic, raw if possible, and check for low levels of lead and cadmium. You can Google the brand + “heavy metal levels” to get the details.

Optional Add-Ins

These are great if you want to bulk it up or switch things up:

• A scoop of ice
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp superfood powder — spirulina, maca, chlorella, matcha, cacao, turmeric, flaxseed, lion’s mane, baobab, camu camu, aloe vera… whatever you’ve got on hand
• 1 tbsp organic nut butter — almond or peanut. No palm oil. No sugar. Read your labels.
• ¼ to ½ of a grapefruit, orange, or tangerine
• A few brussel sprouts — yes really, if you’re low on veggies from the day before

Blend It Like You Mean It

Power up your blender and keep it on HIGH until it’s smoooooth. No lumps, no weird textures, just creamy, nutrient-dense goodness. When I use anything other than my Vitamix, I always end up chewing my smoothie and…nope. Just nope.

Why This Smoothie Works

This isn’t just a breakfast, it’s a daily nutritional powerhouse. You’re getting:

• Vitamins A, C, K, E, and B-complex
• Plant-based protein
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Fiber (hello, digestion)
• Antioxidants galore
• Natural detoxifiers like lemon, parsley, and dandelion

It keeps me energized, focused, and helps keep my health in check without relying on caffeine or processed food.
