Need a high-calorie smoothie that’s over 500 calories and more? These smoothies are for you. All are made with healthy, fresh ingredients that are full of nutrition.

I don’t know about you, but I love to start my day with a nice, freshly made smoothie. I think they are awesome for several reasons.

First, smoothies are adaptable. There are no hard and true rules for them. I know I can throw any ingredients together, and it’ll almost always just work (although I’ve experienced exceptions).

Also, they’re easy to make and portable. Preparing a smoothie and bringing it with me is an easy way to get the nutrition and calories I need.

So, let’s just dive into it! Here are some of my favorite smoothies so far!

From Latha: ”Thank you for all the wonderful smoothie recipes. My teenage son is underweight and I started making these smoothies for him since yesterday. He put on some weight the very first day itself. Thanks again!”

The pineapple and banana flavors are bright and delicious. They also do an excellent job at hiding the ingredients that’s going to pack on the protein, fiber, and calories.

I added white beans to this smoothie! It may seem strange, but the beans provide added nutrition and create the silky texture we often love in smoothies.

The final smoothie is going to bring you back to your childhood. It’s fruity and nutty and tastes a lot like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

    really like the white beans idea, going to try it thanks!

  2. Thandiwe says:

    Hi can I have more smoothie recipes for weight gain
    Thank you

    1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

      Hi Thandiwe,
      that’s all I have for now 🙂

  3. Colleen says:

    Nutrition breakdowns do not appear to be completely accurate based on my assessment. It would be helpful if you showed a nutrition breakdown of each ingredient and a complete description of the product used. For example #10 Strawberry Peanut Butter Smoothie must use sweetened frozen strawberries to help boost the calorie content. If sweetened strawberries how did you calculate the sugar content ? Do you count added and natural sugars or just added sugar?

    The coconut milk you list in one of your previous comments is the canned type which readers should realize is extremely high in saturated fat. Very debatable whether this is a healthy source of fat. Readers should also be aware that the sugar content of some recipes are extremely high. Note 4 grams sugar=1tsp sugar.

    Karl I hope you are receptive to my suggestions.

    1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

      Hi Colleen,

      I use Nutritionix to calculate the nutritional values for all these smoothies. You can plug in the ingredients and see the values. I suggest not to use anything with added sugar – fruits, a little honey, maple syrup, and other sweeter things that already have enough sugar in them. You mostly want to add ingredients with healthy fats and protein to bump up those calories. Smoothies in general have plenty of carbs which you obviously want to gain weight.

      Obviously, some smoothies have more saturated fat than others, and I do not recommend drinking the same smoothie every day. While one day you might have a bit more saturated fats, another day you can make a different smoothie completely to balance it out. You have also complained about the smoothies having too much sugar. The truth is fruits have a ton of sugar in general but it’s natural and much easier on your body than just straight-up sugar itself. The fruits, while they have more sugar than veggies, also tend to have a ton of fiber (which is EXTRA important for the health of your digestive track) and carbs that aren’t sugars.

      @Karo @ AllNutritious, thanks so much

  4. Egbe Maurine says:

    I’m really impressed with all the smoothie but I don’t know most of the ingredients and don’t know where to get them here in my area

  5. Sheena says:

    Hello! What brand of coconut milk are you using?

    1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

      Hi Sheena,

      I used either Biona or Blue Dragon

  6. Stefania says:

    Is the Pineapple Banana recipe right? 5 cups of pineapple? All of these look great bwt, can’t wait to try them all!

    1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

      Hi Stefania,

      thank you for catching the mistake. It’s not 5 cups but 1 1/2 cups instead. 🙂

  7. Kellie says:

    Thank you! I am trying to gain weight without overeating. These recipes are perfect and well-balanced.

    1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

  10. Hannah Cipollone says:

    Y’all lied on you calorie amount
    1 cup coconut milk 80 calories
    1 banana 120
    2 tsp is under 200
    2 cups of spinach 70 max
    Pumpkin seeds under 100
    Are you really going to tell me that vanilla extract makes 300 calories?
    You have wasted my money. Take math classes

    1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

      1 cup of coconut milk is 520 calories 🙂 Just itself alone. You have probably mixed up coconut milk with coconut water. These are two different products.
      I’m great at math btw. Thanks for the comment!

    2. chicken says:

      @Karo @ AllNutritious, yes girl get it 😂❤️

    3. Ceecee says:

      @Karo @ AllNutritious,

      maybe you should specify which coconut milk you used for your recipe. I’ve looked up multiple coconut milks(not water) in the past few mins some have under 100 calories. Others have 400 calories per cup.

      1. Karo @ AllNutritious says:

        Hey Ceecee,

        Hard to specify, people are reading this blog from all over the world. 🙂 As long as you track your own calories, I think you’ll be good 🙂
