I thought today would be a fun day to round up some yummy smoothie recipes. This week we have been on a clean eating challenge in our house so smoothies have been a nice treat for us.
Here are several delicious recipes for smoothies you might like. I have mentioned this before but I wanted to mention again that you can make larger batches of smoothies and then put them in jars or Ball Freezer containers and save them for another day. This is a great way to use up all the gorgeous fruit in season right now and to have quick grab n go snacks.
The nice thing is that in warmer weather these freezer smoothies usually defrost really quickly. I like to grab them in the morning and they are ready for a mid afternoon snack.
So here are ten delicious recipes I found that you might want to try. I listed the ingredients below each recipe and then you can click the title to get the complete directions.

Thanks! I just ordered a little Hamilton Beach one person smoothie maker yesterday! With money I earned from Plink! Dollar tree has bags of frozen fruit. Great deal!

Great smoothie recipes, Charlene! I also love to add dates or pitted prunes to my smoothies. They add sweetness, without too much sugar.
