Vegan Summer Smoothie Recipe

Many of us across the country are waiting on our favorite fruits to be in season. I, for one, am counting down the days until our local farms announce the start of strawberry season, with raspberry and blueberry picking occurring not long after. There’s nothing better than using freshly picked fruit for your favorite vegan summer smoothie recipe!

Summer is also a time when we tend to think about getting into shape in preparation for swimsuit weather. What better way to kick start a healthy regimen than incorporating smoothies into your diet? Whether for breakfast, lunch, or a delicious snack, smoothies are the perfect way to add your favorite fruits and vegetables into your diet.

I’ve created a deliciously creamy, decadent smoothie to hold us over until summer’s official start on June 21st, when we can really begin to enjoy the bounty from our gardens and farms. Say farewell to spring with my Verge-of-Summer Smoothie!

Verge-of-Summer Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 1 cup homemade nut milk (cashew milk or almond milk)
  • a handful frozen or fresh spinach (about 1/4 cup chopped spinach)
  • a handful frozen raspberries (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 2 teaspoons cacao powder

optional: 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder to kick up the chocolate flavor. Adding this will allow you to have the smoothie as a meal replacement, keeping you fuller longer.
