Blend in with Summer

Summer has officially started and the heat has definitely been invited to the party. With temperatures in the triple digits, hot summer days call for going to the pool, running through the sprinklers and eating refreshing treats.

Instead of going straight for the popsicles, consider making a delicious smoothie! Smoothies are a great way to enjoy a sweet treat in the summer heat while still being healthy. Since you can control the ingredients, you can make smoothies as healthy as you like!

With this smoothie guide, the possibilities are endless. The best part? You can make a delicious smoothie out of ingredients you already have in your kitchen.
