2. Watermelon-Lime Smoothie

What says summer more than watermelon? And, it’s so nourishing for your kidneys, since it's high in water and high in potassium. Sometimes, I have a whole day of eating nothing but watermelon, to flush my kidneys.

Drink this smoothie for a delicious summer breakfast or as an afternoon snack with your friends. You can even pour it into a popsicle mold and freeze it for later!

A triple fruit punch of grapes, pineapple, and banana make the Turning Green Smoothie sweet, and the spinach flavor is mild.

With an added scoop of any protein powder (like my bone broth protein or plant protein, both of which come in vanilla, chocolate, and natural flavors), it gets even better.

• 1 ½ cups water and ice

The Hot Pink Smoothie is one of my very favorites, and I drink it all year round. However, summer is one of my favorite times to enjoy this bright-hued drink because I get to use ingredients from my own garden!

My Hot Pink Breakfast Smoothie is loaded with root vegetables, which have immune-boosting carotenoid antioxidants.
