Try these smoothies 30 to 60 minutes before a workout (but remember: If you guzzle down too much, it might be tough to bounce around on a treadmill). A snack before hitting the gym can provide the body with the fuel it needs to gain muscle and burn fat.

1. Oaty banana smoothie

Since oats are slow-digesting carbs, they’re a great pre-workout smoothie enhancer for lasting energy on the road or at the gym. This mix also features kefir, a probiotic-packed drink that may help support immunity and better digestion.

Note — this smoothie has a thick, doughy consistency that’s different from the fruit or ice smoothies.

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain kefir
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Make the oaty banana smoothie.

2. Trail mix smoothie

This smoothie’s the right one for lasting energy ahead of a long workout. Raisins, milk, and honey are especially good to fuel a cardio sesh.

Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 banana
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 10 almonds
  • 1 tablespoon raisins
  • 3 ice cubes

Make the trail mix smoothie.

3. Peachy oat smoothie

The prep for this delicious drink is a little different from the others. Instead of a blend-and-go smoothie, it’s best to let the chia seeds soak overnight in the fridge, then give it a whirl the next day.

Ingredients

  • 1 peach
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/2 orange
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 date (optional)

Make the peachy oat smoothie.

4. Endless summer smoothie

Nothing says summer like fresh, juicy watermelon — but we won’t judge if you sip this guy during the other three seasons too. This superfood melon is low calorie and contains lycopene, an amino acid that might help protect us from oxidative stress.

Don’t forget — strawberries are a superfood too.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup cubed seedless watermelon
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla whey protein powder
  • 3 ice cubes

Make the endless summer smoothie.

5. Banana java smoothie

Many of these smoothies include banana, but it takes the spotlight in this coffee version. The superfood is mostly known for its potassium punch, but it also has carotenoids — they’re especially good for our eyes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coffee
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 banana
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1 tablespoon raw cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

Make the banana java smoothie.

6. Strawberry banana smoothie

Chia seeds are known for their hydrating properties, making them a great pre-workout energizer.

Blend up the fruit, then add yogurt or kefir until it reaches your desired consistency. Add the seeds and let them soak for a few minutes before knocking it all back.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup kefir or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Splash of vanilla extract

Make the strawberry banana smoothie.

7. Orange creamsicle protein shake

This smoothie needs only three ingredients to get the job done.

Whey protein might help increase strength — as long as resistance training is included in your fitness regimen.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or plain whey protein powder

Make the orange creamsicle protein shake.

8. Blueberry lavender smoothie

This smoothie has the antioxidant power of blueberries, plus the energy-boosting power of maca, a root that Incan warriors used for endurance and strength. Adding lavender also gives this smoothie a unique floral taste.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 teaspoon hemp seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried lavender
  • 1/2 tablespoon maca powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Make the blueberry lavender smoothie.

9. Neapolitan smoothie

This smoothie may remind you of an ice-cream sundae. But this treat uses fruit, yogurt, and chocolate milk to recreate the classic flavor combo.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup chocolate milk
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 3/4 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder
  • 3 ice cubes

Make the Neapolitan smoothie.

Whether you’re running or weight lifting, adding protein and hydrating ingredients to your post-workout smoothie can help replenish your body.

Protein after working up a sweat can help build stronger muscles and speed up muscle recovery time. It’s also a great way to help you meet your protein requirements, whether you’re into hitting the gym or not.

10. Almond butter and jelly smoothie

This is like peanut butter and jelly, but way better — and you don’t even have to chew. The almond butter gives you that nutty flavor without the peanuts, and still gives you a dose of fiber, iron, and protein.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon jam
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ice cubes

Make the almond butter and jelly smoothie.

11. Sweet potato pie smoothie

You might be thankful for this delectable vegan shake (or, as we like to call it, fall in a glass). The sweet potato helps replenish glycogen stores after a solid workout.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk or rice milk
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potato
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon flax oil (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Make the sweet potato pie smoothie.

12. Cherry berry tea smoothie

Tofu not only thickens this fruit-heavy smoothie, but also sneaks in 8 grams of protein. The red tea adds sweetness, antioxidants, and a pretty hue to boot.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 bags rooibos tea
  • 6 ounces silken tofu
  • 2 cups frozen sweet cherries
  • 1 cup frozen grapes
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Make the cherry berry tea smoothie.

13. Savory surprise smoothie

Smoothies don’t always have to be for the sweet-tooth sippers out there. Ginger adds spice to this savory beverage and might help ease sore muscles.

Cayenne pepper has also been shown to suppress appetite and boost metabolism.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces carrot juice
  • 1/2 cup avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Make the savory surprise smoothie.

14. Creamy cantaloupe smoothie

This smoothie has a whole half of a cantaloupe (superfood alert!), which might help hydrate you after a sweaty workout (since it’s mostly water).

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cantaloupe, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 ice cubes

Make the creamy cantaloupe smoothie.

15. Strawberry peach oatmeal smoothie

This mix is extra thick thanks to the yogurt. Greek yogurt boasts more protein compared to the regular stuff, which is important to speed up recovery time after a workout.

In addition to vitamin C and potassium, this smoothie also contains folate and manganese.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peach slices
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Make the strawberry peach oatmeal smoothie.

16. Piña colada smoothie

Coconut water is just as hydrating as water, but has a slightly sweet taste if you’re craving a sports drink. But you’ll get a little sweetness without some of the calories and sugars.

This smoothie also includes pineapple, which has a ton of immune-boosting vitamin C.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (or try coconut water ice cubes)
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Make the piña colada smoothies.

17. Spinach pineapple turmeric smoothie

Turmeric, the bright yellow spice known for its anti-inflammatory properties, adds a kick to this smoothie. Plus, you’ll get some added fiber from the flaxseed and can sneak in a whole handful of greens.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon melted and cooled coconut oil
  • Pinch of black pepper

Make the spinach pineapple turmeric smoothie.

18. Chunky monkey smoothie

Chocolate milk can help the body recover after exercise because of its 4-to-1 carb-to-protein ratio.

And combining chocolate, peanut butter, and banana is always a win.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fat-free chocolate milk or low fat chocolate soy milk
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 4 to 6 ice cubes

Make the chunky monkey smoothie.

Whoever said it’s not easy being green never met a green smoothie.

The hue of these blends may be startling at first, but popping some spinach, kale, or chard makes these smoothies extra good for you.

We’re not talking Swiss Miss here — we mean Swiss chard, a great source of calcium and potassium.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1/2 cup frozen peaches
  • 3 tablespoons chopped mint
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 ice cubes

This smoothie has a hearty dose of spinach, which can actually help speed healing — it’s a great source of vitamin K.

Plus, the potassium you get from the banana after a workout might help with muscle soreness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spinach

  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons oats

Mmmmm, pumpkin. The delicious fall favorite has nearly no fat but adds a creamy, thick consistency to any recipe.

It’s also loaded with antioxidants, like alpha- and beta-carotene, which convert into vitamin A in the body.

This harvest drink also uses cinnamon, which may help fight inflammation.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup kale
