We’re in the hottest month of the year. It’s sweltering outside and you need something refreshing to cool you off. Why not kick-start your day with a cooling fruit smoothie? With all the delicious in-season fruit that’s available right now, the smoothie possibilities are endless. Here, five fruit smoothies using the best of what summer has to offer.
Watermelon-Mint Smoothie
What’s better than watermelon in the summer? How about a watermelon smoothie! This deliciously vibrant drink from Goodtaste will keep you cool and hydrated all summer long with its seasonal flavors, refreshing mint, and creamy texture.
Summer in a Cup
What’s more refreshing than berries and citrus on a hot summer day? We have the answer! This easy smoothie recipe from Minimalist Baker is made with only five ingredients—including berries, pomegranate juice, and banana—and will have you feeling like it’s summer all year long!
Strawberry Fields
Good Housekeeping does it again with this genius and so-easy smoothie using strawberries and fresh peaches. Did we mention it’s also dairy-free? Coconut yogurt and coconut water make this blender breakfast silky smooth.
Healthy Orange Julius
There’s nothing like a fresh cup of OJ in the morning! Let’s put a spin on that breakfast drink by making it into a delicious healthy smoothie. In this recipe from The Fitnessista, hemp seeds, almond milk, and mandarin oranges are blended together to make a smoothie that tastes just like a good-for-you Orange Julius.
Tropical Green Smoothie
Well + Good advertises this vibrant drink as “a kale smoothie that tastes so summery, it deserves to be sipped poolside.” For those of you who have your own vegetable gardens or frequent the farmers market, you know that leafy greens like kale are out of control this time of year! Now you can turn those nutrient-packed greens into this tropical smoothie with pineapple, mint, and coconut water.
