It’s mid-summer and hotter than a tin roof in South America at noon. Thanks to Bindu’s guest post on Tuesday, we know how to eat to beat the heat with cooling food and drink. Here’s another smoothie recipe to keep you in the blending mood.
If you haven’t already, check out Live Lighter’s smoothie recipes for tons of summer meal ideas. As a special treat (and excellent healthy substitute), why not make your smoothies even more summer-like by freezing them and making smoothie popsicles?
Whether you freeze it or leave it in a glass, this smoothie will fill you up, quench your thirst and help you get all your necessary daily vitamins!
