2023’s 5 Must-Try Smoothies According to Clean Juice
Drum roll, please … it’s time to talk about Clean Juice’s top five smoothies of 2023! Don’t worry; these delicious concoctions aren’t going anywhere in the new year. We just wanted to give these smoothies the shoutout they deserve for helping so many people with their health and wellness goals this year.
1. The So Basic One
At Clean Juice, we think there’s nothing wrong with being a little basic, especially when it tastes this good. There’s a reason why The So Basic One earned the coveted title of top smoothie of the year — it’s an instant classic. All of the ingredients are organic in typical Clean Juice fashion, and they include:
- Almond milk
- Almond butter
- Banana
- Maple syrup
- Strawberries
The fruity, nutty sweetness of this smoothie is the perfect addition to any healthy diet. The vitamins and minerals packed into its organic ingredients will have you feeling great, and the taste will keep you coming back! If this happens to be one of your faves too, we have a cool deal for you, our January Smoothie Challenge! Might as well earn some points while you’re sipping on your smoothie. Nothing basic about that!
2. The Coffee One
Maybe you’re in need of a satisfying breakfast with your morning coffee included, or you just want an afternoon pick-me-up that doubles as a nutritious snack. Either way, the Coffee One is the perfect choice for you! Here’s a list of the organic ingredients in this tasty smoothie:
- Cold-brewed coffee
- Banana
- Dates
- Almond butter
- Almond milk
With a powerful coffee kick and some extra vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, it’s no surprise that The Coffee One is a very popular choice among Clean Juice customers. Keeps you going all day long!
3. The Peanut Butter One
If you want to feel like you’re drinking a peanut butter milkshake without the added sugar or heavy ingredients, The Peanut Butter One should be your next order at Clean Juice. This organic smoothie is made with the following ingredients:
- Peanut butter
- Banana
- Cacao
- Maca root
- Almond milk
The cacao combines with the peanut butter to create a sweet, nutty combination reminiscent of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Additionally, the maca root adds some extra fiber, iron, and vitamin C to support internal function and keep you feeling energized. Also, could there be any better combo than chocolate + peanut butter? It’s the makings of heaven.
4. The Longevity One
Eating a healthy, organic diet can potentially help you live longer, and nowhere is this better seen than with The Longevity One. This smoothie combines multiple health-boosting ingredients to support good energy and organ function, including:
- Spinach
- Ginger
- Pineapple
- Apple
- Coconut water
The coconut water helps you stay hydrated throughout your busy day, while the other organic ingredients give your body the daily servings it needs of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Not sure if you’ve been keeping up with Netflix lately but the show “Live to 100: The Secrets of the Blue Zone” has garnered lots of attention and this is another reason why we think this healthy smoothie has picked up some recent steam.
5. The Chocolate Cherry One
Who said healthy food couldn’t taste as decadent as your favorite dessert? The Chocolate Cherry One is a perfect example of some of the flavors you love in baked goods coming to life in a healthy, organic smoothie. Here are the ingredients:
- Cherries
- Cacao
- Vanilla
- Maple syrup
- Banana
- Almond milk

This smoothie may not have made it to our list of the top five at Clean Juice in 2023, but we love it so much that we wanted to mention it anyway. If you want to feel like you’re on an island vacation during the middle of your work week, look no further than The Tropical One. This organic smoothie is made with:
- Coconut water
- Kale
- Coconut oil
- Pineapple
- Banana
The Tropical One is one of our most hydrating smoothies with the combined power of coconut water and coconut oil. Additionally, the fresh, organic fruits and kale are full of health-boosting nutrients your body will love.
What Makes the Top Smoothies Shine?
Each smoothie on our list features a unique flavor palate and nutrition facts. No matter your specific tastes and goals, you can find a smoothie on our menu to suit your needs.
What really brings all of these Clean Juice beverages together is the fact that each one is made with all-organic smoothie ingredients. Eating organic is a great way to improve your health from the inside out and feel good each day.
Additionally, organic foods are better for the environment, which is a whole other reason to feel good about your choice!
Why Are People Crazy About Smoothies?
Smoothies came onto the scene in the 1930s, around the same time health food was becoming a craze on a scale never seen before. Big cities on the West Coast started to adapt recipes for fruit puree beverages from tropical places like Brazil, and these became what we know today as smoothies.
Smoothies first appeared in cookbooks in the 1940s, and over the next several years, at-home blenders started to become more popular.
While some original smoothie recipes were designed to be more like milkshakes with an ice cream base and added sugar, some were laying the groundwork for the health-boosting beverages we enjoy today with ingredients like fresh fruit and Greek yogurt.
Over the generations, smoothies have only risen in popularity. You can get pre-bottled smoothies in just about every grocery store, and home blenders to make your own are more affordable and accessible than ever.
Additionally, you now have smoothie places like Clean Juice to carefully design healthy smoothie recipes with organic, fresh ingredients delivered right to your door.
Benefits of Drinking Smoothies
When you make smoothies a regular part of your health routine, you can enjoy so many unique benefits. In fact, the pros of drinking smoothies are just as customizable as the drinks themselves, which means the health-boosting power of your smoothie is completely up to you.
The most obvious benefit is that smoothies are simply delicious. Your favorite flavors blended into a thick and tasty beverage just as decadent as a milkshake — what’s not to love? (Ready to hop on the Smoothie bandwagon right this very instant? We’ve got something you may be interested in then. A Smoothie Challenge!)
Whether you’re partial to fruit smoothies or prefer a chocolate or peanut butter base, creating a blended beverage that suits your taste is easy, especially at Clean Juice.
The health-boosting effects of smoothies are another major benefit that can’t be ignored. With healthy ingredients like leafy greens, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, whole fruits, and so much more, getting an entire serving of fruits and vegetables in one tasty drink has never been simpler.
Some smoothies are a great supplement to your daily vitamin and mineral intake, while some are nutritionally dense enough to substitute for a whole meal. The possibilities are truly endless!
