This delicious roundup of Summer Smoothies is sure to keep your days brighter, your bounce lighter and your mornings a little easier.
Smoothies can be a quick & easy way to add more fruit and veggies to your diet. Not to mention, a delightful way to get extra vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber into your daily routine, especially when summers are loaded with BBQ’s, get-togethers and a little over-indulging.

We’ve rounded up some of the best allergy-friendly, vegan smoothie recipes to start your morning off right. And because I love you all, I’ve included a double dose of recipes to pick from so you can add another week or do two-a-days. Don’t worry, these recipes aren’t too crazy, but they will inspire you to think beyond protein powder and bananas.

While you have your blender handy, I couldn’t resist including my Berry Smoothie Pancakes recipe in this post. Berry smoothies are one of my favorite, post workout drinks but I decided to mess around with an idea of starting with a smoothie then adding to it for a naturally sweet, allergy friendly (dairy, egg & nut free), filling breakfast. Then βtadaβ the Berry Smoothie Pancake was born! You’ll have to give this a try, because it’s simple & absolutely delicious.

Of course Chrystal! I couldn’t resist including your smoothie recipe.
Lovely! I’ve been in a smoothie rut lately and needed this inspiration!
I tend to go to my old faithful smoothie recipes, so I know what you mean. COme back and tell me which ones you tried.
For clarification, swapping coconut milk in place of soy milk does not make the green smoothie recipe top-8 free. Coconut is a tree nut falls within “nuts” of the top 8 most common allergens.
You are correct. This post was actually originally written before FDA added coconut to the “nut” allergy group. It has been updated. Thank you
