I totally agree. It barely feels like September here in Toronto either.
But I love the look of this smoothie! Perfect in the last few really hot days (I hope)
Thanks Cathleen! I haven’t been to Toronto in years, but I hope to visit there again someday. It’s such a fun town!
I love drinking smoothies in the morning too (after my morning cup of coffee of course!) I used to order smoothies all the time at college and would always get one of the tropical fruits. This reminds me of that!
I love tropical flavors, so that’s the one I would have picked, too. Thanks Carla!
My hubby’s birthday is this month too! Also I’m feeling you on the heat. I wish it just feel like September already, I’m ready for cooler temps and the fall. However, the tropical flavors can stay throughout the year. I love how bright this smoothie is, definitely a way to wake up in the morning.
I agree! I’m actually TOTALLY ready for fall sweater season. But drinking tropical things, while wearing sweaters 😉

Such a perfect way to start off a morning, especially when the mornings here are feeling less and less tropical!
Well, my morning here today is hot and VERY humid, so surpisngly, it’s still feeling tropical in September. It won’t last long, though. Thanks Gabriel!
I bet the flavors of this are amazing! Naturally gluten-free, so I love it! Can’t wait to try!
