This month’s Recipe Redux challenge asks members to use seeds in a recipe reflecting the summer season. Seeds can boost the nutritional profile of a recipe while also adding extra flavor and texture. I love sprinkling sesame seeds on a salad and tossing a handful of sunflower seeds into my granola. On the first official day of summer, I’m sharing a classic summer drink in the form of a smoothie.
This pina colada smoothie is a refreshing vegan drink. To increase the protein and fiber, I include a tablespoon of sunflower seeds. In a smoothie, you don’t want a strong taste of the seeds, but they add thickness and nutrients to the final product. This quick, easy smoothie tastes so refreshing on a warm summer day. For a different twist, you could freeze this in popsicle molds for a sweet frozen snack.
