Sometimes matcha lattes just aren’t enough. For days when you want to double up or skip the latte in lieu of something a bit healthier, try this green smoothie on for size.

Full of spinach, kale, Greek yogurt, and almond milk, it’s basically like a matcha frappe. Top with sliced almonds for a nice little crunch and sub unsweetened vanilla almond milk for just the right amount of sweetness.

All this talk of coconut milk and nut butter almost made us forget about our other smoothie fave: avocado (the ultimate creamy add-in).

This five-ingredient smoothie is full of healthy fats, antioxidants, and a nice amount of fiber too. To keep the sugar down (you’re sweet enough as you are), use Greek yogurt and frozen blueberries instead of flavored yogurt.

If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain… then you’ll love this smoothie.

Made with some of our tropical fruit favorites — pineapple, banana, and not-so-tropical pear — the taste is reminiscent of beach vacations and weekends basking in the sunshine.

As with most tropical smoothies, coconut water or milk is a great substitute for almond milk. Dear pineapple smoothie, you’re the one that I’ve looked for, come with me and escape.

One of our favorite ways to mask the bitter taste of greens in smoothies is fresh ginger. This smoothie takes things a step further with fresh mint, cinnamon, and pear.

It also gets a healthy boost of fat from MCT oil and hemp seeds. Experiment with any leafy green, and if you’re feeling extra bold, throw in some chopped broccoli. (You’ll never know it’s there.)

This smoothie not only looks like the Incredible Hulk’s breakfast, but it also makes us feel like the superhero.

Packed with cucumber, coconut, kale, and spirulina (one of our favorite edible algae), it’s a deceivingly delicious drink for having all those greens. For the full Hulk effect, drink after a morning workout.

Talk about a kick! The smoothie has a citrus burst from lime and heat from cayenne pepper — not your average smoothie add-in. We love how smooth it goes down and how awake it makes us feel.

It’s also light as can be, making it the perfect mid-morning snack or breakfast for those who aren’t so breakfast inclined. It tastes great with a small handful of chopped celery.

This recipe boasts not one but two ingredients we don’t often see in smoothies: melon and broccoli. Honeydew definitely works best, but feel free to experiment with cantaloupe too.

Just don’t skip the mint and lime, which make the broccoli legit taste good — which we didn’t know was possible when it comes to smoothies! That said, if the broccoli is too bitter, you can swap in cauliflower.

Just when we thought we’d tried every green smoothie, along came the kiwi. Sweet and juicy, the fruit is a wonderful departure from classic add-ins such as apple and mango.

Feel free to use kale in place of spinach if you’re hankering for a different green and substitute whatever nondairy milk you fancy. To make it extra thick, soak the chia seeds in water overnight.

You’re likely no stranger to green smoothies. But did you know many grab-and-go varieties are bathing in added sugars? Thanks, but no thanks. We prefer sticking to homemade varieties, like this delicious pineapple mix.

Made with only five ingredients, it’s one of our favorite ways to start the day: with minimal effort and maximum flavor. We say sub the skim milk for coconut or oat milk and throw in a dollop of nut butter for extra protein.
