Everyone loves a good smoothie, especially now that it is summer! While most people own blenders, they never use them and prefer to buy a smoothie at a store rather than make them. But smoothies are one of the easiest things that you can make! They only require a few ingredients, literally like three or four, that you most likely have in your kitchen. They don't require any preparation either; you just throw the ingredients into a blender and in less than a minute you have a delicious drink! And they're a great way to use that summer fruit that you keep buying! Here are twelve healthy and super-easy smoothies to enjoy this summer:


1. Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie

Okay, so when I saw this recipe I thought that it sounded weird and could not possibly taste good. So naturally, I decided to make it for myself and see how it was. And surprisingly, I really liked it. It was super easy to make, and I had all of the ingredients at home already. I did not, however, have enough raspberries to make the recipe, so I also put in strawberries to make up for this. And I think that the strawberries made it extra good! I will admit, however, that the smoothie was kind of sweet; if I made it again I would probably put in less berries so it would not be as sweet. Also, the peanut butter stuck a little in the blender and was a little clumpy, so I would microwave it a little before you put it in the blender to make it more of a liquid or use peanut butter syrup. This smoothie was delicious and I would definitely make it again!


Ingredients: One-fourth cup of milk, one-half of medium ripe banana, one tablespoon of creamy peanut butter, one cup of fresh or frozen raspberries, one-half cup of crushed ice.

Directions: Put all of the ingredients in a blender. (If raspberries are frozen, let them thaw before you put them into the blender to make it blend easier.) Blend on medium for twenty to thirty seconds, or until smooth.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
