Beating the summer heat on National Smoothie Day

Summer has officially arrived and along with being the first day of the new season, it's National Smoothie Day. Paul Milliken is starting the season off on a healthier note at Smoothie King in Chamblee.

ATLANTA - Getting ready for a smooth-ie start to Summer:

Today is the June Solstice — in other words, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the official start of summer. But here’s what you didn’t know: it’s also National Smoothie Day! And what better way to celebrate the new season than by picking out our favorite fruits, vegetables, and spices and blending them into a summery treat?

This morning, we spent some time with the team at Smoothie King Chamblee, getting tips from the pros on creating healthy and flavorful smoothies and how to pair them with healthy lifestyle choices. We spent some time coming up with our own smoothies, learned some yoga stretches, and even hosted a "smoothie-off" with some local youth.

Oh, and did we mention the blender bikes…where you pedal to mix your smoothie? Yep, it all happened on Good Day Atlanta. Click the video player in this article to check it out!
