Summer is getting into full swing and smoothies are a cool answer to hot days. Smoothie time is one of my favorite times of the day. My daughter excitedly runs around the house yelling to everyone and our neighbors that it’s time to drink the smoothies. And I love it because it makes us take a break from work and sit for a few minutes as a family, relax and drink together. The Peanut Butter Banana Berry Smoothie is our current go-to smoothie of choice because berries are widely available and in-season. It’s deliciously balanced, looks beautiful and kid-approved.
