While comfort smoothies for winter may be a new concept, I’m thinking that refreshing cold Green Smoothies in summer is a thing that we can all identify with. Cool and soothing on a hot summer day, or after a hot and sweaty workout anytime.

Just think of all of the fresh picked veggies and fruit you have to choose from in summer, that are not available in winter. Just remember to use plenty of crushed ice when you use fresh fruit instead of frozen, so your Green Smoothie will be a real chiller!

There is absolutely nothing that tastes better or suits the summer weather better that Green Smoothies. There is no need for heavy meals that just weigh you down and make the weather seem hotter than it really is. Green Smoothies will give you the energy to get out and do things; exercise, vacation or maybe just get some fresh air. When the heat is taking it out of you, Green Smoothies help keep you hydrated, and keep your nutrient levels up where they need to be, no matter how much you sweat.

You have never been more ready for summer, now that your Green Smoothies have knocked off those few extra pounds, and you have your brand new bikini ready body to show off. Hmmm…maybe a trip to the beach for this year’s vacation! When you get ready to go on that summer vacation, don’t forget to pack that old blender first thing. You won’t want to be leaving that behind! You will really need those Green Smoothies to have the best summer vacation ever! There is no reason why this cannot be the best summer you have ever had with or without a vacation!
