The fall season brings a certain refreshing energy to the air. With back to school outfits, new notebooks, and an apple being added to practically everything, the autumn atmosphere of changing leaves and brisk evenings exists mostly where there are slightly less palm trees. While most of the country is coat shopping, we’re shopping for orange and red bikini’s and thinking of ways to stay cool. Just remember though, we’ll be shoveling sand laughing while most of the country shovels snow!
Anyway…try blending these autumn inspired smoothies at home to stay cool this fall and bring a little brisk right into your kitchen.
