Where we live summers are hot and humid. One of our favorite ways to stay cool is to enjoy a nice smoothie.
If you ask about the essential ingredients in a smoothie you will probably get as many answers as people you ask. These are some of those ingredients along with suggestions for substitutions if needed.
Fruit
Fruit juice is used in many smoothies. You do need liquid to make the other ingredients blend properly but may use water or almond milk if you prefer.
Milk or yogurt is used in some smoothie recipes. Try adding a banana instead if you can’t tolerate dairy.
Greens may be added for extra nutrition.
Some people add various types of protein powder. You may also use almond milk, nut butter or a Tablespoon of flaxseed meal for a protein boost if preferred.
Stay with me throughout the summer as I share a few of our favorite smoothie recipes.

“The Go Red for Women campaign raises awareness of the risk of heart disease. I think a lot of people don’t realize that heart disease is the number one killer of women. So what we’re doing is encouraging women to tell five other women to learn more about heart disease and how they can prevent it.” — Cheryl Hines

“Walk in kindness toward the Earth and every living being. Without kindness and compassion for all of Mother Nature’s creatures, there can be no true joy; no internal peace, no happiness. Happiness flows from caring for all sentient beings as if they were your own family, because in essence they are. We are all connected to each other and to the Earth.” ― Sylvia Dolson, Joy of Bears
