18 Smoothies to Transition You into Fall
Smoothies are a cool summertime staple that serve as a refreshing snack, or a healthy breakfast in a pinch. But that doesn’t mean you have to put your blender away once fall rolls around. Fall smoothie recipes are just as good as the summer versions, only with a switch of seasonal fruits and veggies. Even winter produce smoothies will be here before you know it! Get ready to tackle the farmers’ market, because these 18 smoothies will provide a smooth transition from summer to fall.
