The days are long and the nights are warm, yup – it’s that time of year again! It’s summer! It’s time to kick up your feet, throw on a bathing suit and soak up some vitamin D. To keep you fueled up for the summer, here are 5 of our favorite summer recipes, made with our favorite nutribullet family gadgets.

1. Brighten your morning with the Cleansing Citrus Smoothie!

Our powerful nutribullet blender family can whip this up in a zip. All of our favorite summer ingredients are jam-packed in this recipe. Lemon is an excellent detoxifying ingredient that’s also refreshing, while cucumbers are perfect for keeping you hydrated and free from bloating all summer long. This is a great smoothie to start your day or enjoy as an afternoon snack.

2. Serve a refreshing Gazpacho by the pool!

Why slave over the stove when you can blend up a summery soup in 45 seconds or less using any of our nutribullets? Ingredients for our gazpacho recipe can be found fresh at any farmer’s market and prepared in almost no time at all. Serve your gazpacho in a bowl or enjoy it in a pitcher with all your friends by the pool.

3. Need a snack time pick-me-up?

The Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Almond Butter Dipping Sauce is a light and colorful dish to brighten up your day! Prep all your veggies in a snap and assemble these spring rolls ahead of time, or better yet, invite your friends to join the spring roll buffet party! Not in the mood to cook up shrimp? Replace it with long strips of firm tofu. Dip and enjoy!

4. Fuel up without bogging yourself down.

This poke bowl is bursting with flavors and is easy to assemble! Omega-3 rich tuna is an excellent ingredient to add to your summer diet – it’s an anti-inflammatory food with vitamin B12 and vitamin A to boost your energy and support your immune system without leaving you feeling heavy.

5. Cool off during the summer nights.

Sweet, tangy and spicy – this Citrus Cayenne Pop is a bright way to watch the sunset while enjoying a guilt-free dessert. The popsicle also provides a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant to help repair some of the damage from the sun. This nutribullet dessert is a delicious and healthy way to cool off during those hot nights.
