Good for: Green smoothie dabblers

Tastes like: A creamy, slightly sweet fruit smoothie with just a hint of nut

Benefits: "This smoothie is screaming with potassium provided by the banana and the coconut water," says nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, owner of Better Than Dieting. "The nuts add fiber, protein and healthy fat to help keep you satisfied. Berries are low in calories and so tasty, and leafy greens supply iron and folic acid."

Create your own:
2-3 cups leafy greens, like kale, collard greens, chard or romaine
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 banana
1/2 teaspoon citrus zest
Squeeze of citrus juice
2 tablespoons raw almonds or walnuts
1 cup coconut water
1 tablespoon raw honey

Toss all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Makes one serving.

Good for: Green newbies. The spinach is barely detectable.

Create your own:
2 cups vanilla almond, coconut or soy milk
1/2 cup whole oats
1 1/4 cups fresh, frozen or canned peaches
1 cup ice cubes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 bananas

Toss all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Makes four servings.

1/4 cup water
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 3/4 cups green grapes
1/4 pear
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup broccoli
