Best 3 Purple Power Smoothie Recipes
PURPLE POWER PUNCH SMOOTHIE (MY KIDS' FAVE)
This is my go-to smoothie of choice. My kids (all 4) absolutely love it for the flavor as well as the purple color. It's fun, easy, and the kids can even help out! Feel free to add or subtract any of the fruit, honey, or sugar to your taste preference.

POWER PACKED PURPLE SMOOTHIE
I've gotten really into having smoothies for breakfast lately. They taste great and it helps me get in some great nutrients to start my day. This one contains a couple ingredients that will make you think "What??!!" Trust me on this one. The cottage cheese adds lots of protein and gives the smoothie a creamy texture. Spinach adds lots of vitamin A and you can't even taste it (really, I promise!). ___________________________________________ Recipezaar does not have light soy milk in their nutrition database and therefore, the nutrition data is incorrect. When I make this smoothie with Silk's light plain soy milk it has: 372 Calories, 6g Fat, 60g Carbs, 7g Fiber, 24g Protein, 1,082mg Potassium, 42% RDA Calcium, 25% RDA Magnesium, 44% RDA Vitamin A, 63% RDA Vitamin B-12, 33% RDA Vitamin B-6, 92% RDA Vitamin C, 30% RDA Vitamin D

PURPLE POWER BLACKBERRY PEACH SMOOTHIE
This is a weight watchers recipe. It is perfect for when fresh peaches are in season. The sweetness depends on the flavor of the peaches and I have listed honey as an option if you would like it with a touch more sweetness.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add a natural sweetness and creaminess to smoothies, reducing the need for added sugar.
- Choose your greens wisely: For a milder flavor, opt for spinach or kale. For a more intense flavor, try arugula or dandelion greens.
- Add a variety of fruits and vegetables: This will give your smoothie a well-rounded flavor profile and ensure you're getting a variety of nutrients.
- Use a quality protein powder: Protein powder can help you feel full and satisfied after drinking a smoothie. Look for a powder that is low in sugar and additives.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making smoothies. Try different combinations of fruits, vegetables, and protein powders to find your favorite recipe.
