Summer loving, had me a smoothie — because there’s nothing better on a hot day, right? And the best smoothies are delicious, filling, refreshing and easy to make.
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.
