5 refreshing smoothies to save any summer afternoon

Dear summer, I love you. Your afternoons at the beach, the mojito on the terrace with friends, the long days, the fresh watermelon from the fridge... But I have to tell you something: sometimes, your suffocating heat overwhelms me. So much so, that I end up lying on the sofa, with the fan just a few centimeters away; that heat gets inside me. It's time, I know, to make myself a refreshing smoothie.
All I need is some frozen fruit, maybe a ripe banana, a little milk, a drop of honey and all well blended for breakfast or a snack on a Sunday that doesn't necessarily have to be Sunday. There is no better drink against the summer doldrums, with the permission of all those cold creams that I like to enjoy at lunchtime.
But today it's all about sweetness. Milkshakes, smoothies, ice-cream shakes that taste like dessert and relief at the same time. Here is a compilation to enjoy them when the heat doesn't let up... or simply when you feel like something cold, creamy and delicious.
