A Year Of Smoothies ~ 10 Seasonal Smoothie Recipes For A Healthy Gut, Year Round


Because we drink a smoothie each day, coming up with new flavors has been a focus of mine for the past year.  We are now up to ten different varieties, so I thought it might be helpful to gather them all up into one neat post, categorized by season.  Of course, if you freeze some of your berries and fruit, you can whip them up out of season, as well.

Each of these smoothies are raw and contain enzymes crucial for good digestion and overall health.  They all contain cultured dairy to impart probiotics and strengthen immune and digestive systems.  If you are dairy-free, you can actually make coconut milk kefir (click on this link for how-to videos and culture starters).  Most of the recipes call for kefir, but you can substitute with yogurt cup-for-cup if you prefer.  If you have never made your own kefir or yogurt, you might be surprised at how easy it is. You can also find how-to videos and culture starters for those by clicking this link.

  2. Just so you know... not all of the hyperlinks match. I tried to click through to your Orange Julius and came upon the Cleansing Grape Fig instead.
