Quench your thirst and chill out at the same time? Sign us right up!
Did you know? Our greens make an excellent addition to any smoothie recipe. They blend in well, and when mixed with other flavorful ingredients, they’re hardly detectable to anyone just dipping their toes into the greens pool. If you (or your kids!) haven’t quite found your taste for kale yet, this is one way to get all the added benefits of greens without indulging in the full, delicious flavor.
Our team of taste testers have mixed and matched a variety of ingredients throughout the years and have come up with three smoothies that are sure to become favorites of yours this season. Peruse three of our top smoothie recipes and then add these ingredients to your grocery list for your next shopping trip.
We promise that you’ll love them!

Does your summer schedule keep you busy and on the go? Smoothies are one of the simplest things to prep and plan ahead for to make it easy to blend, pour, and get out the door in the mornings. Here are a few of our tips on doing just that:
· Cut up your fruit ahead of time and store it in the freezer in individual smoothie size servings.
· Use an ice cube tray to freeze small portions of any liquid you like to add to your smoothies. Once frozen, pop them out of the tray and store in the freezer.
· Premeasure any dry ingredients (chia, flaxseed, etc) and have them ready to go next to your blender.
Feeling extra ambitious to prep for the week ahead? Use a quart-sized reusable storage bag to store all of your smoothie ingredients (except for the liquid, unless you are pulling from your ice cube freezer stash) and store in your freezer. The night before, pull your bag out to defrost in the refrigerator. It’ll be ready when you’re ready in the morning!
Grab your cold, delicious, and refreshing smoothie and get going this summer—Adventure awaits!
