Our Five Favourite Superfood Smoothie Recipes

So, you’ve heard of nutrient-packed foods, but how do you add them to your routine? These tasty superfood smoothie recipes will help to get you started.

Whether you’re after something tropical or chocolaty, find the perfect flavour to match your craving.

What is a Superfood?

Before we get into it, let’s explore what a superfood is.

The phrase was first coined in the early 20th century as a marketing term for bananas. These days, it is typically used to describe foods that contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are thought to provide a variety of health benefits.

However, it’s important to note that there isn’t any scientific evidence to confirm that any foods are truly ‘super.’

Some whole foods that are often referred to as superfoods include:

• Avocados
• Berries
• Cacao
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Leafy greens
• Manuka honey
• Nuts and seeds
• Turmeric

So, if you’re looking to support a healthy lifestyle, incorporating some of these into your diet may help.

What is a Superfood Powder?

A superfood powder is a concentrated blend of ingredients, derived from whole foods to make a nutritious formula. Although they aren’t designed to be taken in replacement of fresh fruit and vegetables, they are a convenient and easy way to enhance your diet with extra nutrients.

With minimal prep time, you can simply mix the powder into a beverage or incorporate it into recipes like a porridge or ice cream.

They also have a longer shelf life than whole superfoods, making them a practical option if you don’t have time for frequent shopping trips.
