Summer is makings its approach, and now it's time to find in the grocery store and farmers market summer fruits and vegetables such as apricots, apple, melon, berries, mango, beets, and so on.
Add an extra nutrient punch to your smoothie, and don't forget to add some nuts, seeds as a source of healthy fats and antioxidants and maybe some protein powder. With no further ado, here are the best summer smoothies you should try.
