Summer Smoothie Recipes

Seasonal Summer Smoothie Recipes

Each recipe makes one serving. Smoothies should be consumed same day for optimum nutrition. For convenience, meal prep ingredients in individual freezer bags and store until ready to blend. Use a high speed blender for the smoothest consistency, but a standard kitchen blender or individual bullet will work just fine. Feel free to adjust liquid content for your preferred consistency. And remember … always chew your smoothies.
