It’s TGIFriday, and here we are on the cusp (<– really?) of the end of summer holiday weekend. It seems only appropriate to get your and my wheels turning about some great smoothie-snack-dessert-kinds-of ideas for summer chill out bevgs, back to school breakfasts, post work-out refuelage, TV marathon sips, or quick and easy on-the-go guzzling. Just ignore that little part back there where I said Back To School because I’m 300 percent sure that I lied – that can’t even be true already. These summer smoothies can be awesome with the produce is crammed into every single corner of your kitchen and spilling out your windows and onto your neighbors’ doorsteps, and they can be equally delish in the winter when the produce is only the lonely bags of mixed berries in your freezer. I’m not depressed about the w@#&!% at all, though. Not at all. Here are 14 awesomely beautiful and thirst-quenching smoothies that I scrounged up from the most talented blender-spinners around the food interwebnets. Big thanks to these bloggers for their recipes and allowing me to share one of their photos for our eye candy enjoyment. Le sigh – pretty, pretty. Also, I hope you have time to Google image search “paper straws” when you’re done reading this. Four dollars have never been better spent.
