Do you find yourself stuck in a berry-and-banana smoothie plateau? Do you ever stare blankly at the Goodness Me menu thinkig, "Fine, I’ll just go for another Peach and Basil?" If you're starting to feel that all smoothies taste alike, we’ve prepared a list of five new drinks to try out to spice up those Marketplace visits.
Orange you glad you’re getting your greens?
For those starting to doubt the nutritious value of solely drinking orange juice, this smoothie will incorporate your daily veggie intake without ruining your drink's flavor. Who doesn’t love drinking their greens — at least when they're hiding among tastier ingredients?
Tip: since this drink technically only uses four portions of fruit, you can request an additional portion of fruit on the side. We suggest half a cup of fresh strawberries.
Ginger-ific
A spicy, yet still sweet, concoction that is sure to give you a mid-morning lift. The ginger and honey combination blend together to give your immune system a boost, staving off any potential symptoms of Saadiyat-flu, while the bananas and almond milk are packed with energy.
Tip: since this drink also incorporates only four main ingredients, ask for an extra portion of kiwi. And be sure to specify how much ginger you would like in your drink, as it can get spicy really fast.
Nuts for nuts
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups reincarnate in a green smoothie — while odd-looking, this drink is most likely to get a, “Hmmm, that's actually quite good,” type of response. Thick in consistency, it's a great one to have on-the-go between classes.
Tip: if you're looking for something extra, ask for chia seeds in your drink.
Swinging through Palms
Inspired by senior Olivia Bergen’s Sweet Green drink last semester, a sip of this smoothie will transport you to a beach in some far-flung, tropical corner of the world. Bananas, coconut milk and almond milk give it a smooth, creamy texture, while the handfuls of strawberries and spinach ensure that you are still getting your daily dose of fruit and vegetables.
Tip: depending on the quantities of fruit added, colors may vary between bright green to pale pink. Don’t worry, it's delicious either way.
It’s a Peachy Life
While including the ever popular smoothie staples banana and strawberry as its foundation, this drink comes with a twist: peaches galore. The tender sweetness mixes with an aromatic bite of basil, hitting the perfect mix of freshness sipped through a straw.
Tip: the mango in the juice can be replaced by avocado or papaya. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, try adding yogurt for a more lassi-like texture to go well with the mangos.
