Summer Smoothies 🧊😍 | Debloating, Protein-Packed & Sweet Indulgence | 3 Delicious Smoothie Recipes
We all make smoothies for different reasons…
Some to feel lighter, some to get stronger, and some just to enjoy the taste!
So the three of us — Bahar, Burak, and I —
made 3 different smoothies to match our own styles 🍹🍋🍃
💚 Mine is a light, refreshing smoothie that helps reduce bloating.
💪 Bahar’s is protein-packed — perfect after a workout to keep you full.
😄 And Burak’s? A sweet summer indulgence!
Refika’s Smoothie

2 small cucumbers
3 small frozen acur, Armenian cucumbers
A piece of ginger, size of a walnut
A thumb sized piece of turmeric
15 sprigs parsley, stems included
1 peach or any fruit of your choice
8–10 ice cubes
1 cup water
Lemon juice, optional
• Place all ingredients into a blender and blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Burak’s Smoothie
A fruity, indulgent smoothie perfect for hot days
2 slices frozen melon
1 slice frozen pineapple
2 scoops of ice cream
¼ lemon, peeled
A handful of roasted white chickpeas, or any nuts
4–5 ice cubes

½ cup water
Topping, basil leaves, roasted chickpeas

Bahar’s Smoothie
A nutritious smoothie that combines herbs, seeds, and plant-based protein.
Ingredients
10 sprigs parsley
A walnut sized piece of ginger
A thumb sized piece of turmeric
3 pitted dates
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon oatmeal
1 scoop vegan protein powder, optional
1 tablespoon peanut butter
200 ml kefir, or plant based milk as alternative
8–10 ice cubes
• Remove pits from dates. Place all ingredients in blender. Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
• If too thick, stir in a splash of water to reach desired consistency.
Key Smoothie Rules:
1. Always add some liquids like water, kefir or milk to blend the smoothie properly for a smooth texture.
2. Freeze your leftover fruits or cucumbers. Then use for smoothies to create a silky base. If you don’t have any use ice to make the smoothie cold.
3. Make sure to include ginger and turmeric — anti-inflammatory powerhouses that also aid digestion.
4. Add high fiber ingredients like chia, oats, seeds, parsley to keep you full longer.

This has reminded me that I've been meaning to save for a good blender lol
Please, can you make a video about making Muhallebi and types of Muhallebi. I wanna learn from you, please 🥺
I like all three smoothies but during the summer i choose the refreshing smoothie. I would additionally add celery as well.
I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast 😊
1 banana
1 scoop protein powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon flax seeds
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
1 big handful spinach leaves
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
Oat milk (allergic to dairy)
It's delicious and keeps me full all morning. Protein in the morning is very important
Looks good
Hello my Dear heroes, ❤❤❤ I am going to prepare three! Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much !!!
Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Excellent, Yummy. OMG
I would add green apple and green grape seeds with green smoothie
Y’all are too cute. Much love. Thanks always for the recipes.
Refika you read my mind! I have to do an all-liquid diet tomorrow in preparation for a surgery Monday. I'm definitely going to make the protein smoothie.
Refreshing smoothie; beetroot, celery, rocket,salad (romaine/iceberg) summer berry frozen fruit mix, avocado, ginger, kefir, water . Could add hemp hearts for protein, also sometimes I add coco nibs but not necessary.
Pistachios… Maybe? They all sound yummy!
The green one in the morning! I would add 1 kiwi, 1/2 green apple and 2 dates!
Eat lunch
Drink the protein one for evening meal.
And…Burak's sitting outside in the evening enjoying the warm night!❤❤❤❤❤❤ but only on weekends 😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤
They make flavored protein powders, you could do chocolate and banana and the peanut butter would be good in that. I don't think your protein shake has to taste like the powder. They also have caramel protein powder and that might go very well with the dates. You could look up a sticky toffee pudding recipe for that powder. Is it harder to find the vegan powders in different flavors in your country?
Definetly the three of them😋look so amazing and delicious!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!😍Thank you for your great authenticity !!! Keep on going!!!
More and moreee fresh start shakes plz💚
I definitely choose the three of them🎉thank you guys!
💙🩵💙🩵
Thank you Refika and friends. I would not use the protein powder what I have learned is that all food has protein in it and that it has never been recorded a person died from lack of protein. I like the vegetables with fruit and nuts or seeds along with plain yogurt. I also have added vanilla or almond extract and cinnamon. Take care Refika God bless you all.
you are the sweetest. have the best summer
Mint would be lovely in all of them
Wow nice yummy
❤
The green smoothie appeals to me.
If you're trying to lose weight, drinking or eating sugar is a bad idea even if it's from fruit. Same applies to white flour or any refined carbohydrate.
I'd like Bahar's the most; it looks delicious. I'll put the other two on my list, though. Thank you all for the refreshing recipes! Best wishes!
What’s the difference between kefir, ayran, and Leban?
I'm definitely going to try your smoothie Refika! It sounds really refreshing and I never thought of putting parsley in my smoothies. I'm very curious what it will taste like.
I visited Bodrum many years ago, unfortunately in the height of the heart so it was a little difficult to see a lot in the heat but it was still a great holiday and I was very interested in the tour to Ephesus that I went on, even though I was melted 😂
Much love to you all ❤❤
Got to say Burak's smoothie seems quite interesting ,will try it ,never had that combo.. I usually make red ,green or banana,flaxseed,oats smoothie..I never mix green and red fruits or veggies as the colour turns quite unappetizing 😂 red berries ,beetroot ,grapefruit all make a perfect vibrant red smoothie ,on the other hand parsley ,cucumber and spinach make wonderful green
