There’s honestly nothing better than a cold, frozen beverage on a hot, summer day — especially if you’re sipping on something extra sweet. Smoothies are the perfect summertime beverage for cooling you down and electrifying those taste buds. Let’s be real; smoothies are also great for getting all of those good-for-you nutrients for the day, and can also help with keeping your body hydrated under the hot sun. Needless to say, we’re a big fan of smoothies, which is why we have a plethora of thirst-quenching smoothie recipes on hand when we’re craving something cold and sweet.
What makes these smoothies far superior to the rest? Well first, all of these smoothies are naturally sweetened with pitted Medjool dates. Medjool dates add a caramel-like sweetness to any recipe — whether it’s a baked good or blended into a beverage like a smoothie — and is also packed with good-for-you nutrition. Adding two Medjool dates to your smoothie adds 3 grams of fiber, as well as potassium, magnesium, and copper. Plus, because potassium is an electrolyte that works in tandem with sodium to maintain cellular fluid balance, they also help to keep you hydrated. So in conclusion, Medjool dates are the sneaky MVP of your summertime thirst-quenching smoothie.
Along with Medjool dates, these smoothies are packed with all kinds of nutritious ingredients that help to fuel your body. And, of course, they taste delicious! Here are ten of our favorites that we think you’ll absolutely love to sip on all summer long.
