Consider this kale-packed beverage the green juice for first-timers: It's made with pear (not apple) for a sweeter fruit base and Meyer lemons for their milder, more palatable citrus punch. A final piece of gingerroot imparts that signature spiciness and enhances the drink's anti-inflammatory qualities.
Made with orange and cinnamon, this wintry smoothie tastes like a healthy version of your favorite holiday cocktail. And it stars the chia seed: the buzzy, antioxidant whole grain noted for its high fiber, protein and calcium quantities.
Don't let this speckled smoothie turn you off if you're wary of green beverages –– the ample amount of kale in this drink is masked by the strong flavors of peanut butter and banana. You'd be mad as a monkey not to try it.
This coconut water-based smoothie boasts the hydrating, antioxidizing properties of the tropical liquid and all the flavor of your favorite childhood sandwich.

Not for the faint of palate, this grapefruit and lime juice will twist your tongue in all its tart glory before you benefit from the vitamin C-rich citrus. With a bit of mint, it's just the juice to wake you up and get you going in the morning.
