This is the second smoothie recipe in our four-week series, and with July 4^th just a few days away, I had to make this week’s recipe all festive for you!

This red, white and blue smoothie bowl will not only put you in the stars + stripes spirit, it will provide you with numerous nutritional benefits to keep you hydrated, healthy and full of energy. 

It’s packed with potassium, vitamin C, fiber, B-vitamins, plant-based protein, omega 3s, and antioxidants. It’s great for digestion, a healthy heart, boosting your immune system, boosting your metabolism, stabilizing blood sugar + pretty, youthful skin.

Servings: 2

Ingredients:
1 cup filtered water
1 cup strawberries
1 cup watermelon
1 frozen banana
2 tbsp flaxseed
2 tbsp hemp seeds

Toppings:
blueberries
unsweetened coconut flakes
watermelon stars

Directions:
1. Blend all ingredients together in a high-powered blender.
2. Using a mini star cookie cutter, make your watermelon stars.
3. Pour smoothie into bowl, and top with fresh blueberries, coconut and watermelon stars.
4. Optional: Use a smaller-sized watermelon {I used a small organic one} as your smoothie bowl for some extra summery fun! Just cut watermelon in half and scrape out to make bowl.

Cheers to stars, stripes + smoothies!
