Dr. Rhonda Patrick Smoothie #1 Recipe

This is the smoothie that started it all, getting Rhonda Patrick recognized for its health benefits and micronutrient balance. This recipe makes 64 oz of smoothie, and she drinks half of that (32 oz) daily.


In order to make this smoothie, you’re going to need the following:

  • 8 leaves of kale
  • 3 cups of flax milk
  • 4 leaves of rainbow chard (and their stems)
  • 3 cups of spinach
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 apple
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup of blueberries
  • Flax seeds (optional)

It’s an easy smoothie to make, as long as you remember to add the kale and flax milk first and blend after adding them. Once you’ve done that, add the other ingredients and blend again until your smoothie is ready!


Dr. Rhonda Patrick Smoothie #1 Benefits

This smoothie recipe contains a high level of magnesium – 32 oz of the smoothie will actually give you more than the recommended daily amount of magnesium!

The kale included in this smoothie is high in magnesium, zeaxanthin, lutein, and sulforaphane, several of which have minor beneficial effects on eyesight and reducing age-related deterioration of vision.

The spinach contains a high level of folate, which is good for red blood cell production and general healthy cell growth. The rainbow chard, meanwhile, offers a great deal of vitamin K, which is required for the production of several important proteins required for bone growth and blood clotting.

The various fruits involved offer high levels of a wide range of other valuable nutrients, including beta carotene, potassium, vitamin E, and lycopene, as well as many others. The flax milk and seeds, meanwhile, contain a large amount of alpha-linolenic acid.


Dr. Rhonda Patrick Smoothie #2 recipe

In 2016, Dr. Rhonda Patrick released a slightly updated version of her smoothie recipe. Most of the ingredients in it are the same, but some of them differ, as, according to Dr. Patrick, varying the ingredients from which your micronutrients are obtained can ensure a healthier and more balanced nutritional intake.

For this version of the smoothie, you’ll need the following:

  • 8 leaves of kale
  • 2 leaves or rainbow chard (and their stems)
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 apple
  • 2 cups of spinach
  • 1 or 2 cups of blueberries
  • 1 lemon
  • ¼ of a cup of hydrolyzed collagen

This version of the Rhonda Patrick Smoothie Recipe is easier to make than the first version, as it all just needs blending up together with no worrying about blending in stages or the order of the ingredients used. Most of them can be found in your finer grocery stores.  Go for organic options if possible.  Amazon is your friend for hydrolyzed collagen.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s smoothie recipes are healthy and easy to make, giving you a boost to your diet with their high micronutrient content. We’ve enjoyed adding a few more of some of the ingredients and the subtle changes can help make greens much more drinkable!  Switching things up between the two recipes is a great way to add a little variety to your diet without needing to make major changes or affecting the micronutrient levels of your regular smoothies. Dr. Rhonda Patrick has the expertise to back up her claims, and her smoothies taste good too!
