I find that the best way to make them as simple as possible – while still packing in the nutrition – is to use a basic recipe or formula. Then, as you become comfortable with that basic recipe, you can easily try new things like swapping in different fruits, greens, and other add-ins. Here is the basic smoothie recipe I use as the basis for many of my other smoothie recipes!

This smoothie was created out of excess melon and trying to figure out different ways to use it! Melon in a smoothie? Yup! It’s delicious! It is packed with protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and complex carbohydrates. Just what the body needs before a workout – or to start out your day.
