Summer Cool Down Smoothie Recipe

Summer Cool Down Smoothie Recipe

Enjoy this delicious Summer Cool Down Smoothie Recipe any time of the year.

I’m always looking for an easy smoothie recipe for my daughter. She loves fruit and smoothies are easy snacks, but I’m not the most inventive because I don’t eat a lot of the same foods as she does. So, I came up with a fool-proof smoothie recipe anyone can make.

SummerSmoothie-recipe-3

Short-cuts are my favorite way to cook. As long as the outcome is the same, why go through all the hard steps? For this recipe, I bought a container of summer fruit, already cut up, ready for consumption. It’s already cleaned, cut up (saves me time) and put together like a salad. Buying the fruit like this is also easier on my wallet because I don’t have to buy each piece individually.

SummerSmoothie-recipe-4

So, now that I have saved time and money, I can honestly feel pretty good about making this smoothie recipe. I put the fruit into the freezer for a few hours. I want it cold, if not frozen. It is summer after all and needs to be COLD.

I also bought a container of strawberry yogurt (the smooth kind). That also went into the freezer. But don’t let it completely set. If you do, you’ll end up with an extremely thick fruit shake. I’ve tried it both ways and like it with just very cold yogurt.

SummerSmoothie-recipe-2

I blend my fruit and yogurt together. The salad I like to buy has strawberries, watermelon, mangos, pineapple, grapes, and cantaloupe in it. I also will chop a banana up to add to my summer smoothie.

If you need liquid, add some milk, but because of the watermelon, you may not need it. I do use about a third cup of yogurt for each smoothie.

NutriBullet-review-4

To each smoothie, add protein powder for added nutrition. I use SuperFoods powder for my kids from NutriBullet. I only use a tablespoon per smoothie. A little is all that is needed to give my kids a little boost.

You can dress this up with whipped cream and a sprig of mint if you’d like, but my kids are always in such a hurry that I never get that in the smoothie. I don’t even get the lids on them before they take off with their snack.

SummerSmoothie-recipe-5

You can even pour the smoothie into ice pops forms and make ice pops with this mixture.  The yogurt will harden in the freezer to make a yummy frozen treat for you and your kids.  Imagine coming home after school and have these frozen treats waiting!

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
