Fruit smoothies are easy to make and they add so much good nutrition to your daily diet. But, if you need to watch your calorie intake, you need to know that smoothie calories can skyrocket if you're not careful.

So, need some ideas for healthy smoothies? Here are some fruit smoothie combinations that come in under 300 calories each and taste great. But first, a few general tips:

  • Get yourself a high-speed, high-powered blender. A regular blender will leave you with fruit lumps and ice cube chunks.
  • A basic smoothie includes fruit, liquid or yogurt, and ice. All you need to do is dump all the ingredients in your blender and blend on high until it's smooth.
  • If you have time, freeze your fruit before making your smoothies. Otherwise, maybe add an extra ice cube or two.
  • You can use nut milk, soy milk, or rice milk instead of cow's milk.
  • Most of these smoothies call for a little bit of honey (about a tablespoon), but you can also use maple syrup or plain sugar if you prefer.
  • You can also skip the sweetener altogether and save about 60 calories per smoothie.
  • Stevia and sucralose also work fine as honey substitutes but use less than a tablespoon per smoothie.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. Sample your smoothie before you pour it into your glass. Add a little more of whatever you think it needs.
