Lighter Smoothies
A lot of storebought smoothies are high in sugar and made with yogurt or ice cream, which can make you feel sluggish and heavy: this is about the last thing you want before heading out when it’s this hot.
Instead, try making a smoothie where you fill your blender half and half with ice and frozen fruits of your choice-we’re going strawberries, blueberries, and bananas that have been cut and pre-frozen. Then, add 2 or so ounces of lime or lemon juice to get some tartness, and fill the rest of the blender with a more mellow juice, for instance, pineapple or mango. The result will be a light, refreshing smoothie that still has some sweetness, but this treat won’t have any of the processed stuff.
