4 Healthy Beverages To Start Sipping On

30 seconds

While many smoothies or “healthy” beverages can be anything but, these four drinks have something in common beyond great flavor: Each provides a solid amount of healthy nutrients in every serving. Note that each finds its sweetness and flavor from produce, not refined or artificial sweeteners. Whip them up this week!

1. Green Power Drink – At just five ingredients, including kale and dates, this drink provides a delicious taste and a good amount of fiber and protein.
2. Black Sesame Smoothie – Featuring bananas, unsweetened soy or cashew milk, and – you guessed it, black sesame seeds – this drink is rich and satisfying.
3. Medicine Man – This antioxidant-rich drink tastes like anything but medicine! With blueberries, black tea and unsweetened fruit juices, it’s a nice pick-me-up when feeling sluggish.
4. Energizing Green Tonic – Another great pick-me-up beverage that’s simple, refreshing and packed with nutritional goodies. Try it with breakfast, or whenever you need an energy boost.
