    Smoothies are not exactly healthy, they rack up in calories and sugar and don’t make you full. I work at a smoothie store and even the calorie count isn’t accurate if you actually manually add up all the ingredients calories even the healthiest smoothies are like 400 calories

    Maybe the smoothies at your store have too much sugar, but this is not true for mine, which have a good balance of carbs, fat, and protein. My summer lunch smoothie is close to 400 calories, and this is intentional as it is a meal.

    I have at least one smoothie a day. I love my vitamix for blending. You can pretty much blend anything in it! Raw carrots, almonds, etc. A great resource is Simple Green Smoothies. They do a 30 day challenge and also have an app called Daily Blends. There are recipes for different types of smoothies. Healing, glowing, energizing, etc. Give them a try: https://simplegreensmoothies.com/green-smoothie-101
