Squeeze the Day: A Celebration of Granitas, Smoothies & Shakes!

👉 Why You'll Love These Refreshing Frozen Drink Recipes

Hey sweet friends! I’ve got something JUICY to share with you… 🎉

Looking for refreshing, feel-good drinks for spring and summer? 🍓 You’ll love Squeeze the Day, my brand-new cookbook filled with easy granita, smoothie, and shake recipes that are simple, affordable, and delicious. After months of recipe testing, sticky countertops, and a freezer full of fruity experiments, I’m beyond excited to share this vibrant collection with you! It’s a love letter to joyful nourishment, seasonal ingredients, and making the most of every delicious moment. Whether you're blending your breakfast or scooping out an icy granita after dinner, Squeeze the Day is here to add a little more sunshine to your kitchen.

🧊 Why Granitas, Smoothies & Shakes?

Because they’re fun. Because they’re refreshing. Because they’re the ultimate blend of simple + satisfying.

Granitas are that perfect in-between—a little fancy, a little rustic, and endlessly customizable. Smoothies? They’re quick, wholesome powerhouses. And shakes? Oh baby, they’re pure happiness in a glass. Together, they cover all the bases: hydration, nutrition, dessert, and delight.

I created this book to share recipes that don’t just taste good—they make you feel good. These are recipes that energize, cool you down, lift your mood, and maybe even help reduce food waste while they’re at it. Because when we blend with intention, we can turn overlooked ingredients into something extraordinary.
