National Refreshment Day

Well this is one I didn’t know about until now, it’s National Refreshment Day but lately I’ve been having this everyday especially with the high temperatures and humidity.

If I had known sooner, I would have had Lia save her refreshment blog from last week until tomorrow. She shared a few yummy drinks and you can check it out with the recipes near the end of her blog.

This is my National Refreshment Day smoothie! It’s made with frozen pineapple, frozen orange juice, banana and coconut flavoring. I usually blend my fruit smoothies with a small amount of milk but this time I used Italian Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer. I love the taste of these flavored creamers and it also helps to thicken the drink a bit.

When making a smoothie all you have to do it toss in some fresh or frozen fruit, some crushed ice and what ever else you find in your fridge or pantry. I love to add some chai tea concentrate, other flavored syrups (especially raspberry syrup) and any flavored coffee creamer.

It’s time for me to open my Nutty Bar and make some refreshment drinks! What is your favorite smoothie or frozen drink and will you be making one for National Refreshment Day?
