Light and Fresh Summer Smoothie

We are big fans of smoothies at our house. Not only are they simple and can be whipped up pretty quickly, but it’s a great way to add in an extra bit of fruits and veggies to your day.

This smoothie was created to be clean, fresh and bright tasting. We used some lighter flavors for summer, when you don’t want anything too heavy or dense tasting. It’s the perfect little pick me up to wake up your taste buds with fresh lemon and tart apple.

Antioxidant Packed Ingredients

Sometimes our skin takes a beating during the summer with all the sun, chlorine, sunscreen, etc. This smoothie is packed with ingredients that are designed to be beneficial to our skin.

• spinach is high in vitamin a, c and k, all of which can help the look and texture of skin, as well as act as an antioxidant to prevent free radicals from damaging our cells
• celery contains antioxidants as well that can offer skin cell protection, as well as water which is one of the most ingredients for healthy skin
• banana and apple add a naturally sweet flavor, as well as fiber to help keep you full and keep the digestive tract happy

Time Saving Tip – we like to put all the ingredients into freezer friendly bags to have pre-measured, single serve smoothie packets ready to go. All you do when ready is add water, memore and the contents of the freezer bag to your blender.
