Smoothies are the breakfast staple of the wellness world, and for good reason: They’re the easiest way to pack in a ton of healthy foods in almost no time at all. While you don’t really need a recipe to make a perfect smoothie (check out the full guide to making a perfect one every time here), inspo is always welcome—especially when you find yourself falling into a rut with a repeat recipe. With that in mind, we’ve gathered up five delicious smoothie recipes from some of our favorite Instagram accounts, so you never have to fall prey to smoothie fatigue again.

Monday: The colorful showstopper.
