Perfect for any time of year, especially during the summer, smoothies are LIFE! What I love about smoothies are that they are super customizable. Throw in your favourite fruits and veggies (using your best judgement) in a blender and volia!, you end up with a tasty beverage without realizing the amount of fruits and vegetables you have just consumed.
I have previously shared a bunch of my favourite smoothies on the blog. As mentioned earlier, smoothies are endlessly customizable. So below I am sharing five NEW smoothies recipes that I enjoyed throughout this summer. Ready. Set. Blend! Gather your ingredients, grab your blender and give these smoothies a try and let me know what you think. Cheers!
