Okay. I’m super excited to share this post with you guys. Super excited.
If you’ve been reading Spoons for a while now, then you know I love my smoothies. And if you haven’t been reading Spoons for a while now, then I’m telling you — I love my smoothies. In the heat of summer; in the dead of winter. Once a day; twice a day; three times a day. If the craving strikes, it’ll be satisfied. And the craving does strike, friendly faces. Hard and often.
But smoothies are just so good! And I think the main reason why is because they satisfy both hunger and thirst simultaneously. And they’re sweet and creamy. And super satisfying. And packed with nutrition. Gah! The craving is striking, friends. Hard and… well… hard.
I can’t even tell you how difficult it was for me to put together this post without running to my blender multiple times. This here is a collection of some pretty epic (and healthy) smoothies that are guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you cool in the summer heat. There’s a nice mix of fruity, doughy, chocolatey, and protein-packed drinks in here, so there’s something for everyone. And me? I just want them ALL.
So do yourself a favour and check some (read: all) of these out! You need them in your summertime arsenal…

You know I had to copy this: Hard and often. #twss
Sorry.
Well, I can hardly admit, that I am usually too lazy to dig out my blender and especially clean it after making the smoothie. Nonetheless, they ARE one of the best meals ever – Especially when they are thick enough to be eaten with a spoon. Banana/Chocolate/Avocado is definitely my fave – always with the addition of 2 handfuls oats.
😆 No worries — that’s exactly where my mind was when I was writing it 😉
Love all your smoothies! Honestly perfect timing…was in a smoothie mood lately.
Green smoothies are my fave…. I have a hard time branching out. I made an awful one the other day, way too icey… that’s what i get for not adding a banana or any fruit. I need to try some of these ones, especially the Salted Caramel Cashew Cacao Chunk Smoothie… so decadent looking!
I should really try some of these. I always make the same smoothie over and over again, and I hav a crazy sweeet tooth.
omg. I literally just got an egg and cheese on a bagel and now would sell Niki for a smoothie. Come make me one.
Throw Panda in the mix and you’ve got yourself a deal.
Summahhh! I love thick, doughy, creamy smoothies. The best are overnight oat smoothies with chia seeds. When you blend them in the morning, they’re like thick clouds of deliciousness.
Thank you so much for including my smoothie in your roundup! I LOVE smoothies so this is right up my alley. I will have to check all those other amazing looking ones out!
Smoothies are my breakfast go-to. I’m addicted, what can I say? But I won’t have one unless it needs a spoon! And I’m a big fruit lover with smoothies!
I’m not much of a smoothie fan, but OMG that salted caramel smoothie just may convert me.
Sign me up for cherry limeade please.
I had a delicious and delightful fruit filled smoothie this morning. No spinach though; I ran out yesterday. 🙂
That happened to me once… so I put mixed baby greens in mine. It wasn’t horrible, but probably not something I’d repeat again 😆
I don’t discriminate with the smoothie love, but I do adore the fruity variety. I need to try some of these dessert like options stat!
YES to smoothies and YES to all of these recipes! I don’t discriminate when it comes to smoothies…it just needs to have some sort of nut butter involved and I am a happy lady. Thank you so much for putting this together! XOXO
Smoothies are the bomb diggity. I love how you can pack so many nutrients into one convenient smoothie. Thanks for the great list! 😀
Ahhhhh that’s exactly the post I was in the mood for this morning! Hooooorah! I’m going to make most of these 🙂 Your salted caramel cookie dough smoothie looks deeeeelish!
I was honestly never a smoothie person until this summer. It’s been so hot that I find myself preferring cold coffee and coffee smoothies. Thanks for sharing these, anything with orange has my heart!
I go in spurts with smoothies. One day I want them ALL, the next I don’t want any. This makes me want them all though 🙂
I am definitely a doughy, dessert smoothie lover!
Who would’ve thought smoothies could be so gorgeous?! Especially your Black Forest smoothie- I think that one steals the show!
Thanks for the link love, sweetie pie! xo
All of these sound great – smoothie do-list just got longer! Thanks so much for including mine in your round-up 🙂
Yesss. This may help me mix things up from the same green smoothies I have every day.
I like chewing my food so when I drink smoothies I don’t put a whole lot of calories into it. I use my smoothies as a way to get in some greens (I put spinach or kale and some Vega protein green powder in there) and I drink it down right after a hard run so that it’s not a struggle. I think I’d love all of these smoothies as a dessert! Or maybe even with a little rum added in. Hehehe…
Now that’s a seriously good idea. I like the way you think 😉
I am in full blown smoothie mode now that it’s so hot all.the.time, so these are perfect! I love green smoothies and have recently gotten really into acai green smoothies. There is nothing better than a cold smoothie on a hot summer day!
LOVE this compilation of smoothies! I’m all about the chocolatey (and nutty) ones.
I am usually so lazy when it comes to making smoothies, but these look so good!!! However nothing beats a ‘cookie dough’ smoothie. I mean seriously, how do you come up with such glorious recipes??? Definitely making one soon <3.
I have never been a smoothie drinker, something always just sort of bothered me about drinking anything thick, even a milkshake! But eating them with a spoon is a new idea that has some merit…methinks I’ll be trying it 🙂
Definitely give it a go! Pour it in a bowl, throw some toppings on top, and go to town 😀
You know I have learned to love a smoothie —with a spoon 🙂 I agree- definitely satisfies hungry and thirst which is why I really enjoy them for lunch on days when I run and am extra thirsty.
Oh my gosh, these all look so good! I’ve been making super basic smoothies these days, but I think it’s time to start making some of these fancier babies. Totally craving one now!
Black Forest Smoothie is my favorite! Especially now it Cherry Season!
<3
These look delicious. Smoothies are the perfect meal right now with the heat!
I had 2 smoothies yesterday and thought – wait – who am I here? Spoons? 🙂
Mine were boring, mocha protein ones – not like these delectable ones! Happy Friday – hope your weekend is smoothalicious!
No part of mocha sounds boring at all 😛
Perfect post! I’ve been making so many smoothies now that it’s getting so warm out! I just made your salted caramel cookie dough smoothie for breakfast… don’t judge me : ) But at least I added protein powder? Haha.
Judge you? Girl! I’d sooner join you! I think I had one of those for breakfast for like a week straight when I was making the recipe 😛
Perfect timing with the crazy hot weather over here, so much to pin! I’m craving one for later today when it’ll be too hot to turn the stove on.
YUM! I’ve been trying not to eat as many sweets (love chocolate!) and this is a great way to have something sweet+ healthy.
