Here are 10 summer smoothie recipes that are sure to please!

All are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, corn free, and refined sugar free.

My oldest son is autistic and experiences significant sensory struggles when eating. 

Fruit and vegetables are his biggest hurdle.

He has found that if he blends fruits and vegetables into a smoothie, he enjoys the meal experience.

Over time my oldest has come to love smoothies.

We serve them everyday in our home to ensure he's eating the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables each day to stay healthy.

After trying several recipes, these are our favorite smoothies for summer!

My oldest also struggles with probable Ehler's Danlos Syndrome. (We're waiting for genetic testing to confirm which type.)

Part of staying as healthy as possible with this diagnosis is eating a gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free diet.

All of the smoothies on this list meet his dietary needs with a few minor adjustments.

We hope you enjoy these smoothies as much as we do!

10 Summer Smoothie Recipes: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Corn Free, and Refined Sugar Free

Pineapple Coconut Smoothie from Evolving Table

This smoothie reminds me of a Piña Colada. It is SO good!

When we make this smoothie, all fruit included is frozen.

Our family uses So Delicious plain coconut yogurt.

We use agave as a sweetener.

It's tradition in our house that we add a tiny bit of shredded coconut too.

Mixed Berry Smoothie from Delicious Little Bites

We love berries. This smoothie is the perfect way to get our berry fix when we want it.

When making this smoothie at home, we use frozen fruit and omit ice. Either way works depending what you have on hand.

We use So Delicious plain coconut yogurt, and usually cut down the amount of yogurt mentioned in the recipe. Our kids usually prefer more berries and less yogurt.

If we find there's not enough sweetness to this smoothie we may add agave.

Mango Smoothie from Kristine's Kitchen

Mango tastes so delicious in the heat of the summer! 

As with other smoothies, we make sure all of our fruit is frozen, including the banana. 

So Delicious plain coconut yogurt is used to ensure the smoothie is dairy free.

Green Passion Smoothie Panera Bread Copycat from Sip Sip Smoothie

This is the first smoothie that our oldest son tried and loved. 

His first trial was actually at Panera Bread. I was desperate to find a recipe that tasted the same. This recipe worked!

The only issue we ran into is that there is no passion fruit to be found where we live. 

Instead we mix half orange juice and half pineapple juice together. It works beautifully!

Blueberry Pineapple Galaxy Smoothie from Dole

This smoothie is so good and so refreshing! 

Instead of using fresh or canned fruit in this smoothie, we choose to use frozen fruit.

So Delicious plain coconut yogurt is used instead of Greek yogurt.

Aloha Tropical Smoothie from Lil' Luna

This smoothie is one of my personal favorites. I just love the flavors.

We use frozen fruit in this smoothie and omit the ice cubes.

So Delicious plain coconut yogurt is used in place of Greek yogurt.

Our family prefers to use lite pineapple juice over apple juice.

Raspberry Peach Smoothie from Deliciously Sprinkled

There's nothing that screams summer more than raspberries and peaches! 

This smoothie is absolutely delicious.

When making this smoothie at home, we use all frozen fruit.

So Delicious plain coconut yogurt is used instead of Greek yogurt.

We use unsweetened vanilla almond milk and add a little agave if needed.

Pineapple Orange Smoothie from Love Bakes Good Cakes

This smoothie reminds my husband and I of eating orange creamsicles growing up. 

When we make this smoothie we use So Delicious plain coconut yogurt and add a little agave if needed.

I can't say enough about how creamy this smoothie is. 

Everyone loves it!

Lemon Blueberry Avocado Smoothie from Walder Wellness

I admit, I was a little hesitant to try this recipe at first, but it has ended up being one of my son's favorites. 

The avocado adds such a creamy flavor and texture.

My oldest daughter says this smoothie reminds her of lemon blueberry cake.

We use frozen blueberries and frozen avocado in this recipe.

So Delicious plain coconut yogurt is used instead of Greek yogurt.

When making this recipe our family does not use vanilla extract, chia seeds, or cinnamon.

Tropical Smoothie Sunrise Sunset Copycat from Sip Sip Smoothie

This smoothie has a kick to it that is perfect for boosting energy levels.

We follow this recipe exactly with the exception of using agave instead of sugar.

It has such a delicious taste that we all enjoy savoring.

What else do you add to your smoothies?

My oldest son has been working with his physical therapist and doctor, while consulting with a personal trainer regarding Ehler's Danlos Syndrome.

All have recommended that he add Creatine Monohydrate to his smoothie each day to help with muscle growth and recovery.

Everyone on his team agrees the best way for Dinomite to stay healthy, is to develop as much muscle as possible to help hold his joints in place.

Despite special dietary needs and sensory struggles, we've been able to find a way for Dinomite to receive the nutrition he needs through smoothies.

When we first started making smoothies each day, I thought for sure I would eventually get sick of them. 

Instead the opposite has happened. 

Everyone in the family craves them more.

My guess is that you will love these summer smoothie recipes as much as we do and have the same thing happen! Lol.
