There’s never a bad time for a smoothie. But not all smoothies are created equal, which is why we’ve created this list of delicious, low-calorie smoothies made with only real ingredients and no added sugar.
All of these smoothies are under 400 calories, and many are even under 300 calories.
Whether as an on-the-go breakfast as you run to work in the morning, an energizing afternoon pick-me-up, or a refreshing beverage to cool down from a hot summer day, all are great reasons to whip up one of these low-calorie smoothies!
Smoothies are naturally packed with many nutrients and it makes being able to consume multiple fruits and vegetables in one sitting a lot easier than if you have to chew each one. They are also a great source of fiber since you’re including whole fruits and/or vegetables.
