As you see from endless rows of bottles at your local health food store, there are many superfoods to choose from. These are at the top of the list for smoothie add-ins They’ve got some serious science-backed benefits, and they actually taste good [or no flavor to speak of], so they’re easy to add to all kinds of drinks.

1.  Hemp Seeds 
Turn to these little seeds to give your smoothie a protein, fiber and omega 3 kick for extra perks.
