16 Healthy Smoothies To Sip In 2016

The New Year means it’s time to buckle down once more on our goals of healthy eating and improved wellbeing — and to break in that blender we got for Christmas. So, I'm turning to some healthy smoothie recipes for a nutritious and delicious start to 2016. Smoothies are an easy way to get some more vitamins into your diet. Plus, they’re super fun to drink, so what’s not to love?

Keeping your New Year’s resolutions can be a challenge without a plan of action. Simply saying that you want to be healthier without actually making a change does nothing. If your goals can be tackled with just a few different lifestyle changes, then you’re far more likely to actually achieve them. Having a fruit or veggie-filled smoothie can start your day off on the right foot, making it easier to become a morning person and to eat healthier. So it’s about time you start using that blender more often — the results may just be even better than you thought.

These 16 easy smoothie recipes will help you to bounce back from a holiday season of indulgent eating. Grab some fruits and vegetables and get blending — it’s going to be a refreshing new year.
