There’s nothing like having your hand held all the way from your blender to your glass! P.S. Don’t forget to sip your smoothie with a glass STRAWESOME straw!
If you are not already making smoothies or haven’t figured out just why they are so good for you let me help you out first:
Top reasons to start the new year off with a smoothie!
Not only are smoothies refreshing and give you energy first thing in the morning – but they are also so much fun to create. Everyday you can create a new theme in your blender using different, flavours, tastes and textures pack it full of raw organic, fruits, vegetables and superfoods!
Making a smoothie is the easiest way to absorb a whole bunch of nutrients all at once. They are full of fiber and vitamins and depending on what you put into it you can also get your daily dose of protein, antioxidants and healthy fats.
Why not indulge… and drink your next meal? What can be more delicious than a creamy smoothie that fills you up and gives your body the nutrition and vitality that it requires to thrive? There really is no better answer…so let me tell you five simple reasons why you should be making smoothies and blending your way to health!
Time Saver – Smoothies take all of 5-10 minutes to make (depending on how prepared you are) and can be taken on the go, and will last all day in a stainless steel bottle.
Easy to Absorb – liquids are easier to digest and allow nutrients to absorb into your cells for immediate uptake.
All -in -One – you can get a “whole” lot of goodness into one blender – nutrients, protein, carbohydrates and fat!
Super Fun– enjoy the “process” get creative with colourful ingredients and textures (add granola and eat it with a spoon!)
Liquid Energy – use superfoods to give you a boost (no booster juice!!!) Make your own blend and enjoy in the morning, afternoon or pre/post work out!
You are in luck because I am going to give simple steps on how you can to make the perfect smoothie everyday.
How to blend your way to health:
These can be made in any blender (but a Vitamix or BlendTec are highly recommended!)
- Start with 2 cups of liquid – rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut water
- Choose your protein (2 tbsp or more)– raw brown rice protein (Sun Warrior - (Use coupon code MW007 to save on your order)), hemp protein, hemp hearts or almonds
- Choose your fruit (1/2 – 1 cup of either)– blueberries, raspberries, banana, mango, avocado, dates
- Choose your green (one handful)– spinach, kale, chard, sprouts, cucumber or (1 tsp) greens powder, spirulina, chlorella
- Choose your superfoods – (1 tablespoon of one or more) goji berries, acai, pomegranate powder, cacao nibs, maca, mesquite, hemp seeds, raw honey, chia seeds, matcha green tea

Love, love, love smoothies with superfoods!
It’s the only way to enjoy them!
My favourite smoothie tip…I keep a Magic Bullet blender at my desk at work. I will fill the cup with my fav smoothie ingredients and screw on the blade in the morning at home. Then I blend it up in the afternoon as a snack. Super simple and it has my coworkers doing it too!
That is such a great tip Dani!
I LOVE this idea for the new year! I’m so very tired of hearing about all the weight loss shakes out there. A smoothie everyday full of nutrients and REAL foods make much more sense to me. Count me in!
Isn’t it brilliant! And even more brilliant if everyone can sip their smoothies with an MW signature strawesome straw!
Love my morning smoothie.
I have been using your products for about a year now and can’t say anything else but DELICIOUS and I’m so grateful to find you guys!
Navitas is a fabulous company! I am glad you love their products. I love using them in recipes and of course for daily use!
I love having green smoothies every morning and another one later in the afternoon. So nutritious and delicious! I love Navitas Naturals products. I think I will try some new ones that I have been wanting to for some time. Thanks! Look forward to recipes.
You are going to love them! They are all so incredible!
Love my morning smoothie, but would love to incorporate more superfoods into them and change up my reicpes!
That’s the fun part with smoothies, they can be different every time you make them…even though we sometimes stick to our favourites!
Ok. I just got a new vitamix for my birthday and have been having sooo much fun playing in the kitchen! I have been loving a coconut cacao smoothie I created that tastes like a macaroon!!!!!!
That sounds so amazing! Share the recipe with us…if you’d like!
SUPERFOODS! Yummmm. And I just had a dark cherry and cocoa smoothie to boot!

I’ve fallen out of the smoothie habit, so thanks for the push!
Just did one – an orange, half a banana (frozen), some coconut milk (canned) and a bit of cooked Irish moss. Tasted like a nice, thick creamsicle!
I have been making your chocolate super smoothie and loving it! I also love the glass strawsome straw I purchased from your recommendation.
I joined the “Smoothment” and tried to purchase some things on the Navitas website but it looks like it only ships to the US and not Canada. Am I missing something?
