A smoothie is a snack that can be consumed at any time. What you put into your smoothie dictates whether it is going to be a healthy snack or a light indulgence. Here are some quick smoothie recipes to keep your hunger at bay all through the day. 

• Peanut butter and banana smoothie

• 1 large banana
• 1 cup ice cubes
• ½ cup almond milk
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp. peanut butter
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract

This smoothie is perfect for when you need that extra burst of energy without relying on chocolates and laddus. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top for extra flavour and serve immediately.

• Creamy avocado and kale smoothie
  

• 1 ¼ cup coconut water

This vitamin-rich drink is a nice pick-me-up during a sluggish day. Pour coconut water into a blender and add all the ingredients after it. Cover the blender and blend until it is smooth. Pair this smoothie with baked whole grain chips for a healthy and crunchy snack.

• Vegan winter smoothie
  

• ½ banana
• ½ cup frozen mixed berries
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp. peanut butter
• 1 scoop of protein powder
• 1 tbsp. chia seeds
• 1 handful of walnut pieces

Add your ingredients to a blender and blend them all together. We would recommend using chocolate flavoured protein powder to give it the right flavour.
