Make: Refreshing Summer Smoothie Recipes
These three easy-to make-smoothies will certainly cool you down this summer…
I have a peculiar relationship with smoothies. I go in and out of love for them like a confused teenager. I adore smoothies, get bored, look elsewhere, but I always come back. It’s a love story all too familiar.
You may wonder where am I right now in this complex romance? Well, it’s funny that you ask. After a few months away, I am excited to say that I’m getting my toes wet again. I’m back in, you guys! This time I am over the moon about using the freshest SUMMER ingredients available. I’m talking watermelon, strawberries and blueberries. These smoothies will cool you down AND keep you coming back for more. Forever in love.
