August might be coming to a close, but we still have lots of the summer season left to enjoy. Today we’re looking at some tasty smoothies you can make for yourself, your family, and your friends. These recipes are simple, easy, and healthy! They’re great for breakfasts, but also make for a perfect mid-day pick-me-up, or a post-workout snack.

If you like your smoothies chilled and frothy, consider adding ice cubes to your blender, too. Use our Cedar Springs spring water to freeze the cubes ahead of time, and you’ll be good to go! Our water can also be used to thin out any smoothies that are too thick, so make sure you always have a good supply of spring water on hand!

The measurements for these recipes will give you two servings. Adjust the amounts if needed according to serving size, and voila! We hope you enjoy these smoothie recipes as much as we do!
