During the summer months, there's nothing better on a hot day than to drink an ice-cold smoothie. Better yet, a healthy one. Here are five easy healthy smoothie recipes perfect to help you stay hydrated and cool in the heat of summer!

1.Mixed Berry Smoothie

This frozen mixed berry smoothie comes together super quickly and is one of my favorite treats on a hot summer day. It is a personal favorite of mine because by using frozen fruit the smoothie comes out at a pretty thick consistency instead of a more watered down one that you would get if you were to be using ice.

What You'll Need: 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed berries, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 banana

2. Pineapple Cream Tropical Smoothie

If you like pineapples, you NEED to try this smoothie. It tastes so good and is very sweet and creamy. You can even make it dairy-free by substituting the milk with coconut or almond milk if you are a vegan.

What You'll Need: 3 cups crushed ice, 3/4 cup Dole canned Pineapple juice, 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

3. Blueberry Blast Smoothie

The blueberry blast smoothie is super easy to make, sweet, and a personal favorite of mine to drink poolside.

What You'll Need: 1/2 cup low fat milk, 1/2 cup non fat plain yogurt,1 cup frozen blueberries, and 1 teaspoon honey

4. Green Smoothie

Because it is tasty and loaded with health benefits, you need to try this green smoothie. It feeds your body energy as well as promotes detox and weight loss. It even has no dairy products so you can make it if you are a vegan.
