When I tell you that this smoothie tastes like my feet up, lounging in the sun, in a cute little bikini, poolside with my favorite cocktail in my hand – I am not playing with you. If you love the zesty, refreshing flavors of a classic margarita but are detoxing, doing a dry month or just want something a little healthier, this is the drink for you. This Healthy Margarita Smoothie is just as energizing and fun as an alcoholic margarita, but it’s packed with vibrant greens, a little zing, and a sweet-citrus kick. This smoothie is basically a party in a glass. Whether you’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo, recovering from the weekend, or just vibing with a healthier lifestyle, this one’s a must-blend! Who are we kidding though? If you want to spice it up and throw in a shot of your favorite tequila – I’m not gonna judge you!
Before we turn your blender into a fiesta, let’s take a quick trip back in time. The margarita is a legendary cocktail believed to have originated in Mexico in the 1930s or 40s—stories vary, but the combo of lime juice, tequila, and triple sec became iconic for a reason. Fast forward to today, and you’ve got spinoffs galore: frozen margaritas, spicy margs, and now… the healthy margarita smoothie. Same zingy flavor, none of the alcohol (but all the fun).
This recipe keeps it light, fresh, and super nutrient-dense with simple whole-food ingredients. Here’s what’s going into our blender:
Ready to blend? This one’s a breeze. All you have to do is add all ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Take a lime wedge and rub it along the rim or side of your glass. Sprinkle Tajin over the lime-rubbed area for that signature salty-citrus sparkle. Pour in your smoothie and garnish with a lime slice. Sip and feel fabulous!
It’s all about making smoothies work for you. You could totally add protein and turn it into a post workout margarita. Make it creamy by adding coconut milk or a splash of your favorite plant based milk. Or turn it into a full blown margarita by adding some tequila!
This isn’t just another green smoothie—it’s a vibe. Here’s why you’ll want to keep this one on repeat:
Can I make this margarita smoothie ahead of time? Yes! Blend it up and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a shake or stir before drinking.
Is this smoothie good for weight loss? It’s packed with fiber, low in sugar, and loaded with hydrating ingredients, making it a great choice for a healthy lifestyle.
