What are your favorite (semi) healthy smoothies with fruit?

I eat unhealthily, I'm looking for ways to get in more nutrients with smoothies (fruit/spinach etc). This is a stepping stone for me from sometimes eating fast food for breakfast, so I don't want to jump to water and chia seed type smoothies, if that makes sense. I know people are going to comment that fruit isn't healthy in general but I'm probably missing a lot of nutrients.

What is your favorite relatively healthy smoothie?

Iā€™d argue that itā€™s more important that you enjoy what youā€™re eating than it is to avoid carbs. Plus agave or honey is a much better option than a highly refined sugar and in tandem with whole fruits and vegetables, Iā€™d argue itā€™s justified and harmless. A constant fixation on carbs, sugars, fats, etc. can trigger or lead to eating disorders. You never know what someone else is struggling with. ā˜ŗļøā¤ļø

Taste is highly subjective and everyone has their own preferences. So if in one person thinks itā€™s sweet enough with just fruit and another person wants to add something to sweeten it, thereā€™s nothing wrong with that. Deeming something as ā€œunnecessaryā€ can come across as shaming a personā€™s choice to add honey or agave, especially since itā€™s so hard to convey tone and intention over text. And that doesnā€™t even begin to discuss potential food waste if someone doesnā€™t enjoy the smoothie without the sweetener. Iā€™m not saying that this commenter was trying to shame anyone, but someone whoā€™s struggling with disordered eating/ED might be triggered back into harmful behaviors by that type of comment. Just trying to share some info to help educate. Thatā€™s all. ā˜ŗļø

You completely missed my point, but like you said, you do you. Glad you donā€™t struggle with disordered eating or food waste. ā˜ŗļø

My favorite lately is mango, banana, spinach, and OJ with a little bit of honey. I do about 1 cup of juice and 3/4 of frozen fruit (way cheaper than fresh) and 2 big handfuls of spinach.

And before the sugar police comment, yes I am aware that OJ has a lot of sugar but so does all fruit. Sugar isnā€™t the devil! Thereā€™s no way to completely cut out sugar/carbs. They exist in pretty much every food item, so we canā€™t eliminate them but we can make smart choices about natural sugars versus refined sugars. ā˜ŗļø
