Summer is bringing many delicious sweet treats our way, but that doesn’t mean we should ditch the good old smoothies. You can make them even tastier and more refreshing with these five ingredients.
Ice
Many people put ice in their smoothies all year long, and this ingredient is truly a must during the hot summer months. You can make your smoothies cooler by replacing water or milk with ice.
Watermelon
Watermelon is the unofficial fruit of the summer, and it will make for a perfect addition to your smoothies thanks to its high water content.
Strawberries
Strawberries actually have a lot in common with watermelon—they’re red, delicious, vitamin-rich, refreshing, and almost entirely made of water.
Bananas
Bananas aren’t exactly the first fruit you think of when someone mentions summer, but no smoothie is complete without them.
Mangos
Mangos are an extremely versatile fruit known for its natural sweetness. If you add them to your smoothies, feel free to skip the sugar, stevia, honey, or other sweeteners.
