Smoothies are a staple for me, especially during the summer. Fortunately for us, that's now, so let's start if off with some sips of refreshing summer deliciousness.
I love a good, cool, tasty drink by the pool or on the patio during the summertime. A smoothie is no doubt one of my go-to drinks, especially when they’re made at home with a blender and fresh ingredients. Best of all, it’s an easy way to use up fruits and veggies that are sitting around the kitchen.
