12+ Fruit & Veggie Healthy Smoothie Recipe ideas

When those temperatures are soaring, reach for one of these delicious smoothies recipes that have some of your favorite summer flavors. Keep reading below for a round-up of the best smoothie recipes for summer.
Finding a smoothie that is the perfect combo of sweet flavors and loaded with lots of nutritional goodness is a major win! I love smoothies for quick on-the-go breakfast or a midday treat. Plus, I absolutely love making them for my kids.
Smoothies are a must-have in our house. Itβs not unusual to see us rushing out of the house with a smoothie in hand (fun drinkware is a must). When at home, I love whipping up large batches to make delicious smoothie bowls with all the toppings (this coconut granola is my favorite smoothie bowl add-on) to serve as a meal. On hot summer days, when nothing sounds good, smoothies are always a wonderful refreshing and hydrating option that is nourishing and cooling.
Tips To Make The Best Smoothies
When it comes to delicious, perfectly smooth and frosty smoothies, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Freeze fruit and vegetables for the ultimate frosty treat. This allows you to use less ice which can dilute your smoothies and dull the taste.
- Invest in a powerful blender! A high performance blender will make the smoothest smoothies and will be more durable, even with continued use.
- Get creative! If you donβt have a specific ingredient, experiment with a similar fruit/vegetable.
- Add-ins are great for turning good smoothies into great smoothies! I love adding protein powder for a more filling smoothie. You can also add other powders and supplements, like collagen, maca, matcha and so many more for an additional nutritional boost.
Pro-Tips for Blending
If youβre planning on making good smoothies, these blending tips will help you to make the best smoothies:
- Wash all of the produce that youβll be using before blending. Itβs best to wash fresh ingredients right before blending to keep everything fresh as can be.
- Frozen fruit and ice are the key ingredients to giving your smoothies that cold and refreshing texture. You can freeze fruit in small chunks to keep in the freezer to use in smoothies (I love using reusable silicone bags for a waste-free and sustainable option).
- Blend all liquids and greens together first for at least 1 minute. Greens have a tendency to clump together so blending thoroughly is important for the best consistency. Add the remaining ingredients, add ice (if needed) and blend for 1 to 2 more minutes.
