Packed with some of the best fruits and vegetables, each one of these recipes are proven effective at staving off hunger and keeping your energy levels balanced.

Here is a brief list of just a few of the health benefits contained in these smoothies:

Apples - With antioxidants called flavonoids, these can help reduce your risk of diabetes and also help to freshen breath first thing in the morning.

Avocados - Contain healthy monounsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol and are an excellent source of fiber.

Bananas - Not only taste great, but are packed with blood pressure lowering potassium.

Grapes - Grapes contain resveratrol, an antioxidant proven to prevent heart disease by reducing blood pressure levels and lowering the risk of blood clots.

Spinach - While low in calories, spinach is an excellent source of dietary fiber, protein and omega 3 fatty acids.
