Summer Smoothie Recipes

Keep cool and healthy with these quick and easy smoothie recipes to "recharge" your body and satisfy your appetite.


1. GLOWING GREEN SMOOTHIE (GGS)

This smoothie was created by Kimberly Snyder, author of The Beauty Detox Foods. It combines fresh greens and fruit to make for a balanced and enjoyable flavor. The GGS is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and loads of fiber! Drinking this smoothie daily can help improve skin, healthy hair, sweep away toxins, and help strengthen bowel movements. Mixing and matching greens and fruit by varying the recipe with kale, chard, arugula and the like are encouraged.  No melons! (melons digest when eaten alone). 


 


2. SWEET RYDER

If you want a quick breakfast or a post-workout snack, than this smoothie is an excellent choice. It's a great mix of healthy and sweet because the leafy green tartness is balanced with the sweetness of fruits, along with a variety of nuts & seeds. This combo is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and calcium. This and other summer smoothie recipes can be found at http://theeverygirl.com/simple-summer-smoothies
