Forget your go-to strawberry and banana smoothie combo and sip on something healthy AND exciting!  Thanks to antioxidant-rich berries, nuts and green tea, these five recipes are packed with superfood power.  Drink up!

To Make:  In the order listed, place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth.  If you are using frozen fruit instead of fresh, only use 3/4 cup of ice.

1 cup ice cubes

1/2 cup sliced strawberries

1/2 cup pitted and halved cherries

1/2 cup lowfat plain Greek yogurt

2 teaspoons ground flaxseed

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sip Tip: Pure vanilla extract has less calories than flavored syrup, so try not to substitute.

3/4 cup chopped mango

1/2 cup canned pineapple chunks

2 tablespoons canned pineapple juice

1/2 teaspoon lime zest

1 tablespoon lime juice
