Happy official summer, babes!!!

A few weeks ago, I was asked to participate in an awesome challenge created by Kate, founder of Root + Revel, a blog I've been following for years!

To celebrate her new Superfood Green Smoothies eBook, Kate is hosting a Summer Blender Smoothie Contest (#RRSummerBlender)!

Myself and the amazing bloggers listed below are each contributing a summery smoothie recipe...and it's up to Y'ALL to vote for your favorite!

For my contribution, I decided share this Power C Sunshine Smoothie I created for my cookbook, because it is such an ideal fit for this steamy time of year!!! Think: bright flavor from juicy citrus, soothing for sore throats and packed with Vitamin C and turmeric—anti-inflammatory nutrients that can help repair sun-damaged skin. Fresh ginger is incredible for aiding in digestion, so this is a great option the morning after a BBQ or 4th of July celebration! This hydrating, creamy smoothie tastes like a frozen tropical drink, minus the booze (which, hey, no judgement if some ends up in there). Just looking at it puts me in a happy Summer kinda mood!

If you guys give this smoothie a try and like it, I highly encourage you to VOTE for me! Or at least vote :). Every voter because eligible for some seriously awesome Swag courtesy of Root + Revel! As she describes...

Once you’ve voted for your favorite smoothie from the #RRSummerBlender Challenge, enter your email here to confirm your entry. One lucky voter will win our Summer Blender Starter Kit (valued at over $275!), which is packed with smoothie essentials, including:

  • A complimentary copy of Superfood Green Smoothies ($14.95 value)
  • 3-month Membership to Thrive Market ($15 value)
  • Harmless Harvest: 6-pack of their 32-ounce bottles of coconut water ($60)
  • Simply Organic Spices + Extracts Gift Basket ($75)
  • Wholesome! Fair Trade Natural Sweeteners Gift Set ($25)
  • Georgia Grinders Nut Butters 3-Jar Gift Set ($36)
  • A shopping list including brand recommendations for every single ingredient listed in the book. PLUS, exclusive discounts and coupon codes for those brands, totaling more than $50 worth of free goodies!

I mean, HECK YEAH!!!!! Especially considering that it takes all of 30 seconds to cast your vote!

I hope y'all dig my #RRSummerBlender Smoothie and holla at your girl with a vote!!!!

P.S. This contest ends on JULY 7th at 11:45 EST!
