Staying healthy doesn’t have to involve boring meals or unpleasant protein shakes. We at Carisma want you to enjoy your journey to wellness, so here are 5 amazing smoothies that support your health goals while tasting amazing!

1. Get a Burst of Antioxidants: Raspberry Green tea Smoothie

Add to a Blender:

A chilled cup of freshly brewed green tea
Half a Cup of Yoghurt
A cup of raspberries
A tablespoon of honey
Half a Cup of Ice

Blend until smooth and enjoy ice cold deliciousness!

Consuming foods containing antioxidants has been suggested as a way to counter cell damage, reducing the chances of diseases like cancer, eye diseases, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes. Antioxidants can be found in a lot of fruits and veggies, and this first smoothie is full of them. The Green tea is packed with antioxidants and boosts your heart’s health.

A cup of almond milk
Some chia seeds

Blend until smooth and you have a smoothie that will supercharge your energy! This is a great smoothie to start the day with, or use as a pick-me-up.

The cherries and the kiwi will add a lot of vitamins and antioxidants to your diet, while almond milk is a low-fat way to improve your calcium intake. Chia seeds are loaded with nutrients and even contain Omega-3 fatty acids!

3. Make Your Diet Fun: Berry Keto Smoothie

Blend Together:

A quarter cup of raspberries
A quarter cup of blackberries
Half a cup of Coconut Milk
Some spinach leaves

Blend together, and you have a low carb snack. This smoothie is also a great light breakfast, if you aren’t a fan of cereals.

Berries improve your blood sugar, are great for your skin and help fight inflammation. Just like the spinach in this smoothie, the berries are also packed with vitamins but have a very low amount of calories. Coconut milk helps with your energy levels, improves your digestion and helps your heart health.

This smoothie tastes like a delicious apple pie, but without the unhealthy part! It’s packed with protein, making it a great pre-workout incentive or a post-workout reward. You’ll be looking forward to exercising in no time.

Not only does it contain the protein you need for your workout, but the yoghurt will boost your immune system while the apple and oats will give you a great dose of fiber.
