There’s nothing like tropical smoothie on a hot summer day. Whether it’s after a morning workout or while you’re lounging by the pool, smoothies are always the perfect way to cool down. Below are just a couple of my favorite smoothie recipes that are both delicious and nutritious.

Raspberry Banana Smoothie:

• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (frozen would be fine too)
• 1 ripe banana, peeled and frozen
• 1/2 cup original almond milk
• 1 (5.3 oz) container strawberry or raspberry Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 – 4 ice cubes (optional)

Mix all of the ingredients together in blender. Feel free to experiment with adding additional fruits.

Frosty Smoothie:

• 1 cup original unsweetened almond milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 8-10 ice cubes

This smoothie is awesome because it taste like a Wendy’s Frosty but it’s actually really good for you. Put all ingredients in a blender and mix well.

Green Smoothie:

• 1 medium banana, previously peeled, frozen and quartered
• 1/2 cup mixed frozen berries
• 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
• 1 heaping Tbsp natural, salted peanut butter
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 2 cups fresh spinach

This Smoothie is extremely good for you and the perfect way to start out your day. Mix all ingredients in a blender and enjoy.
