Can you believe we’re already a week into July? I don’t know about the weather in your neck of the woods, but in the San Diego area, things are feeling very warm & summery!
Today seems like the perfect time to share some recipes that’ll help cool you off and keep you hydrated all summer long. They’re some of my favorite fruity smoothie, sorbet and “nice” cream recipes. Let’s get to it!
Chocolate Hemp Cake Batter Super Smoothie. This smoothie is made with banana, peanut butter, hemp hearts, and Bob’s Red Mill chocolate protein powder. It get its healthy cake batter-y taste to it from cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon – one of my favorite combinations for baked goods & smoothies!

Tell me… What’s your favorite recipe to cool down with?
That watermelon smoothie looks so amazing. I love watermelon this time of year.
It just started to get really hot and humid here so looking for healthy ways to snack and cool down- so going to try all of these!
We just got back from vacation (well, a week ago…but it feels like we just got back), and we had some of the most amazing sorbets over in Europe! Now I have to try your mango version. It looks amazing! And then the real goal would be to create a passionfruit version. Problem is passionfruit is just hard to find here in the States. Either way, thanks for sharing all of this fun recipes, Nicole!
I feel cooler just looking at these recipes! That strawberry watermelon smoothie is calling my name.
Also, the new blog design looks pretty! 🙂
