Désirée Fawn, So Fawned Lifestyle: "This really feels like an indulgent treat, rather than some super healthy, hearty protein punching smoothie. It's sweet, and cinnamon-y, and reminds me exactly of oatmeal cookie dough. OATMEAL COOKIE DOUGH, YOU GUYS. This is clearly a winner." Get the recipe from So Fawned Lifestyle here.

Jennifer Hodge, Clockwatching Tart: "This salad makes use of the pretty contrast between the red and golden beets, and adds a creamy, spicy dressing to the mix." Get the recipe at Clockwatching Tart. (credit:Jennifer Hodge / Clockwatching Tart)

Taylor Stinson and Nathalie Sehgal, The Girls on Bloor: "These Tandoori Chicken Burgers with Raita are perfect for summer BBQs but can also be cooked in the oven. The cucumber raita is one of my favourite additions to this recipe. It’s similar to a Greek tzatziki sauce with the cucumber and yogurt base, but the added mint and cilantro add a kick of flavour that perfectly complement the Indian spices in the chicken."

Cocktail: Mango Cherry Vodka Slushie(04 of05)

Taylor Stinson and Nathalie Sehgal, The Girls on Bloor: "Slushies are easy to make and perfect for a summer day, especially when entertaining in the backyard. For this Mango Cherry Vodka Slushie, all you need is fresh mangos, fresh cherries, simple syrup, vodka and lots of ice! You can use the summer fruit of your choice — but we just love mangoes and cherries in the summer time!" Get the recipe from The Girls On Bloor.

Melissa Baker,Upbeet: "I have made some pretty good banana bread lately, but this one is my favorite! I love the tropical flavors of the banana and the coconut together. Coconut is a source of fiber, protein, phosphorus and vitamin B6." Get the recipe from Upbeet here. (credit:Melissa Baker / Upbeet)
