Beta Boost
The yellow or orange color of a fruit or vegetable is a clue that it’s rich in beta-carotene, which is what the body uses to make vitamin A. It’s an important nutrient with all sorts of great benefits, like protection against memory loss, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Of course those same fruits and vegetables make an excellent smoothie, too, which is really why we like them so much.
Grape Escape
Kids flip for this vivid purple smoothie. It’s a terrific way to get a juice fix, and because it’s made with yogurt, it’s rich in calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth.

Even those who aren’t counting their calories and fat grams will be wowed by this healthy version of a green slurpee.
