Everyone knows that a smoothie is the perfect way to start off a busy day. At each of these seven spots, you will find smoothies with personality and unique flavors and taste. While each shop has different options, they have one thing in common: fresh ingredients and healthy choices.
Freckles Juice

Juice House of Tuckahoe
2B Columbus Ave, Tuckahoe; 914.222.9376
Ultra-fresh, cold-pressed juices are the big draw at this village hotspot, but the smoothies deserve their moment in the sun, too. The top pick is the Green Muscle Machine with kale, spinach, pineapple, mango, banana, and coconut water, but the simplicity to the aptly named Very Berry (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, apple juice, and banana) is like a healthy dose of sunshine through a straw.
