Best Smoothie Recipes: Nutella, Avocado, Java, and more

The summer is known for being hot hot hot, but one of my favorite ways to cool off is with some delicious smoothies. All of these smoothies are tried and tested by yours truly, and these are my five favorites. They are absolutely delicious and totally one of a kind. All of these recipes serve 1, so just double or tripple as needed. All of them can use soy milk or skim milk instead of whole milk if you want to shave off around seventy callories. And of course, you could add whipped cream to all of them.

This smoothie is delicious and completely unique. I was given the recipe by a friend years ago and think it’s absolutely delicious and one of a kind.

Ingredients:

• 9 large strawberries
• 1/3 cup orange juice

Instructions:

1. Put strawberries into a zip-lock bag and leave in the freezer for about an hour.
2. Place all ingredients into the blender and blend! Again, obviously, wait until completely blended and drink up!

• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1 tbsp chocolate shavings

Instructions:

1. Put all ingredients except the shavings into blender and blend until they are thoroughly mixed and the liquid is all one color.
2. Put into glasses and sprinkle shavings on top. Enjoy!
