SHAWN BOOTH
Since the cameras stopped rolling, the Bachelorette alum and longtime personal trainer has opened up his own fitness business—and luckily for us all, he’s taken to Instagram to share some of his coveted nutrition tips. The 30-year-old recently preached his love for juicing and the green "cocktail" he makes “on a daily basis." In his drink, he puts celery, kale, spinach, carrots, cucumber, wheatgrass, apples (Pink Lady or Granny Smith), ginger, and lemon juice—but the amounts, he said, all depend on your own trial and error. "Mess around with different vegetables & fruits to find the right mix for you," he wrote. "Start with something that will give you a solid liquid base (ie: celery), put your leafy greens in second and then put the bigger & thicker foods in after to help push all the greens through the machine."

ZAC EFRON
Ahead of the Sydney premiere of his new film The Greatest Showman, the actor whipped up a nutrient-packed smoothie in his hotel room. "This is just spinach, kale and then I got some blueberries, some raspberries, avocado for some healthy fat, a little banana for some potassium and fiber; that’s coconut water mixed with a little almond milk; I'm going to throw in some chia seeds for a little bit of fiber, and probably a little bit of honey just because it's so good here in Australia," he narrated a video of his drink setup on Instagram. "And boom! That’s the pre-red carpet fire up."

JESSICA ALBA
The actress and brand ambassador for ZICO Coconut Water says her family loves when she blends chocolate coconut water, almond butter and a banana to create a delicious smoothie. And she also revealed that she often pours the finished product over ice (instead of blending it in) to avoid watering it down. For breakfast, the mom-of-two's go-to creation is a little less sweet but just as simple with regular coconut water, a banana and matcha powder.

Blake Lively contributed her favorite recipe to the book The Juice Generation: 100 Recipes for Fresh Juices and Superfood Smoothies.

GABRIELLE UNION
Get the recipe: ‘Get Zen’ Smoothie
Given that the Juice Spot in Miami is owned by Lebron James’s wife, Savannah, it’s not surprising that the actress (and wife of the Heat’s Dwayne Wade) was one of the first customers. Union stopped by for a post-workout snack with her trainer, David Alexander, and Instagrammed a shot of them sampling the acai bowl and a few different juices. Her favorite smoothie is the Get Zen, which is made with hearty ingredients like vanilla whey, almond milk, and almond butter. It’s the ideal treat after a tough gym session or, in Wade’s case, an intense game.

JAMIE OLIVER
Get the recipe: Frozen Fruit Smoothie
Unlike some purists who live by the fresh-pressed-or-nothing mantra, the Naked Chef is a fan of using frozen fruit in his smoothies. (This recipe is from his book Jamie’s Ministry of Food.) “It’s been picked at its best, at the right time, and hasn’t been forced to grow out of season,” he says. And let’s be honest, if you’ve got bags of berries stashed in your freezer, you’re more likely to whip up a healthy drink on the spot. Oliver also adds oats and nuts, which he says help “slow down the absorption of the sugar from the fruit into your bloodstream, which gives you more energy for longer.”

VENUS WILLIAMS
Get the recipe: Kale Orange Power Smoothie
The tennis star, who’s Tweeted that she starts each day with some type of green drink, is so committed to juicing that she decided to open a few Jamba Juice locations in the Washington, D.C. area. The orange juice in this kale-based drink makes it sweeter and more approachable than other green varieties, and the ingredient amounts can be easily tweaked to suit your taste buds. “If I could live off green juice and smoothies I’d be extremely happy—well, and candy, too,” Williams told reporters at a fitness conference in Santa Monica.

RUSSELL SIMMONS
Get the recipe: 'The Body Good' Green Juice
Hip hop mogul Simmons isn’t shy about touting the virtues of his über-healthy vegan lifestyle, and he’s been a longtime fan of New York City juicemaster Melvin Major, Jr. After working at various Manhattan juice bars, Major recently opened Melvin’s Juice Box, with one outpost in Soho’s Miss Lily’s Bakery and one in Chelsea’s Dream Downtown Hotel. We’re betting Simmons will be bellying up to the bar for his fix of this sweet, tangy concoction that gets a kick from fresh ginger root. After all, Simmons has Tweeted that green juice “promotes clarity & gives you energy” and calls it a simple thing that makes him “ecstatic.”
