Because Vegetable Smoothies Are Better

On average, Americans eat less than two servings of veg a day, according to the CDC. Blending your veggies (in easy recipes like these vegetable smoothies) makes it way easier to hit your produce goal. (Make your smoothie prep easier with one of these best blenders for every budget.)

Shake up your usual morning drink routine by relegating fruit to the background and bumping vegetables into the starring role. Hints of sweetness and a creamy texture make them extra indulgent—but still wicked good for you.

"They add natural sweetness and tons of vitamins and minerals without skyrocketing your blood sugar the way fruit-only options do," says Shaun Acosta, the executive chef of the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, who developed some of these insanely healthy vegetable smoothies—along with some creative bloggers. Give one (or all) a whirl.
