Aren’t you tired of making the same smoothie every day?

Here is a list of 14 wonderful products for making a healthy smoothie which will inspire you to try something different.

It is important to note that these are not recipes for making smoothies but only a list of healthy ingredients which you can use for the preparation of a delicious and healthy drink.

1. Bananas – tasty, accessible and rich in potassium.

2. Yoghurt – You’d better look for natural, organic yoghurt which has no sugar or corn syrup added. Certainly the content of probiotic live cultures is bigger in such product.

3. Raw organic nuts and seeds – an amazing source of healthy fats and proteins. You should definitely add raw almonds, cashew and even pumpkin seeds to your smoothie ingredients.

4. Liquid essential fatty acids – Add fish oil, salmon liquid oil, flaxseed oil or walnut oil. Essential fatty acids promote good health in many ways including the good skin complexion. Most people prefer to add nut and seed oils to their smoothies, but you are free to try any of the products listed below.

5. Organic coconut oil – Low-calorie oil which contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which, in turn, are a wonderful energy source.

6. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are also a very good choice. If you don’t have fresh fruits at hand you can replace them with frozen or dried ones.

7. Protein powder – you can easily find whey protein powder with various flavours. Besides, you can choose hemp, peas or soya proteins. Vanilla-flavoured proteins are among the most preferred proteins for smoothies.

8. Organic flaxseed or hemp seed – Rich in fibres and essential fatty acids. Before adding them to your smoothies you need to grind them into a coffee grinder if you haven’t bought them pre-ground.

9. Chia seeds – probably the richest in nutrients product you can add to your smoothies. Chia seeds should also be grounded in advance.

10. Apples – A wonderful fruit with low content of sugar and rich in healthy fibres.

11. Green food powder – You can find different green food powders. You should definitely try organic barley or young wheat grass juice.

12. Green leaves – It’s not a bad idea at all to add lettuce, spinach or cabbage leaves. All of them are rich in nutrients. If you want to enhance the flavour, you can add fresh herbs such as parsley or mint.

13. Coconut water - An incredible source of electrolytes and a wonderful way to dilute your shake slightly.

14. Ice cubes – And finally, the most delicious smoothie is the cold one. Remember it.
