8 Nutrient-Rich Smoothies to Supercharge Your Summer

Refresh and refuel all summer with these nutritious options

As the weather heats up, smoothies are a perfect way to cool down and get a quick, nutrient-rich breakfast or snack on the go. Everyone knows fruits and vegetables are full of important vitamins and minerals, and smoothies are a convenient way to add them to your diet.

Plus, when you make your smoothies with milk, you’re not only adding 8 grams of high-quality protein in each 8-ounce glass, you’re also adding eight other essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D.

For additional benefits, consider adding ingredients to your made-with-milk-smoothie like yogurt, whole grains, fresh greens, nuts and more. You can even use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes for more flavorful smoothies. There are almost endless combinations and smoothies to suit every taste, limited only by what you can blend.
