The Five Smoothie Recipes We’ve Had On Heavy Rotation This Summer

Bottoms up.

Summer loving, had me a smoothie — because there’s nothing better than a delicious, filling drink on a hot day, right? 

When the weather slides into that sweet spot of 25 degrees and over, our desire to run outside, bask in the sun and drink something fruity is at an all-time high. The warmer weather simply demands something delicious to sip on, and when it’s a little too early for a margarita, a smoothie is the next best thing. 

If you’re in need of some inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to dust off that blender and show it that you still know a few tricks or two. Below, the five smoothie recipes we’ve had on heavy rotation this summer.
