Tag: Smoothie

Our smoothie tag collects blended recipes calibrated across the eating patterns we cover, keto, low-carb, DASH, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, and general weight loss. Servings run from 100 to 500 kcal for weight-loss shakes up to 700+ kcal for post-workout and gainer blends, with protein-forward, fruit-forward, and green-base variants.

Every smoothie is priced out in Nutritionix and cross-checked against USDA entries for the whole-food ingredients, so calories and macros hold when you swap a scoop or a fruit. Protein targets sit at 20 to 40 g per serving for satiety and muscle support, fiber at 5 to 10 g, and added sugar is capped or replaced with whole fruit. We flag common blender issues, oxalate load in raw spinach, added-sugar creep in flavored protein powders, and calcium and iron pairing when the base is plant milk.

Recipes are developed and tested by our Food Editor Damla Sengul in our Wayne, NJ kitchen, with nutrition reviewed by a Registered Dietitian on our team (Brenda Peralta, Kerly Cordova, Marita Radloff, or Karolina Peterova) and medical review from Franco Cuevas, MD.
