Whether you made a New Year’s resolution to shed pounds or you just want to add to your collection of healthy smoothie recipes, these 10 concoctions will inspire you to make more frequent use of your blender. Unlike freshly-squeezed juices (which are also super healthy!), smoothies retain the fiber in fruits and vegetables, so you can use them as meal replacements or snacks. These recipes include a hangover detox, breakfast-in-a-glass and a chocolate avocado mousse that tastes incredibly decadent.
