I'll be honest. At first, the idea of a red wine smoothie was a novelty. Inspired by The Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix, I thought I'd make this funny post. Turns out THIS WINE SMOOTHIE IS DELICIOUS! For serious. I love wine cocktails and this blended beverage is perfect for warm weather! 

Delicious red wine smoothie recipe for a warm day

This post is written in partnership with Netflix. As part of the #StreamTeam I get to create content stemmed from my love of television and it's freaking awesome.

Are You Watching The Santa Clarita Diet?

Have you seen The Santa Clarita diet yet?? It's an original Netflix show starring Drew Barrymore and my boo, Timothy Olyphant. It's gory and funny and full of heart. Which is kind of weird mix. The premise of the show is that Drew's character comes down with a virus that basically makes her a zombie.

And so, to eat, she must eat humans. Gross, right. But so super funny at the same time! This show is not for everybody. I tried to get my mom to watch it and she called and said, “I was fine. Until she ate that guys fingers…” It's so clever and well written and the acting is fantastic.

There is lots of blood, etc. but I feel like it's so over the top that it takes away a little of the gross factor. But I might just be desensitized after watching 3 seasons of American Horror Story…
Red wine smoothie ingredientsIn one of the episodes, Drew is out speed walking with the neighbors and carrying a meat (human) smoothie. They have no idea about her secret and no idea that she is, in fact, consuming a person, during their walk and chat.

So while I have no plans to blend up a neighbor, I did try to think if there was a way that I could work a little secret into a smoothie. Thus, the wine smoothie was born.

This Wine Smoothie is a Delicious Cocktail Idea!

For this adult smoothie, you need a great bottle of red wine. I love the wine on Winc (my favorite wine club). A red wine that is full of red fruit and berry flavors is the perfect base for this berry smoothie.

A small amount of greek yogurt helps to tone down the bite from the wine and berries and the small amount of honey brings out the fruit flavors in a nice, mellow way. Use red wine to make an adult smoothieOpen up that bottle of red. How to make a red wine smoothieAdd it to your blender or individual sized smoothie vessel. Mixed frozen berries and red wine make a delicious smoothieAdd your frozen mixed berries. Greek yogurt makes this red wine smoothie a little more creamyGreek yogurt…I'm learning to love it…Use honey to naturally sweeten your smoothieA wee bit of honey.Blended red wine smoothieBlend that aaaalllllllll up.Smoothie with red winePour in to your favorite on-the-go smoothie cup. Your friends will NEVER know! red wine smoothie recipe for momsThis red wine smoothie is so easy to make. It's full of healthy fruit and protein filled greek yogurt. And yes, a little wine.

I was not expecting much out of this smoothie. BUT IT IS DELICIOUS! I'm not even a huge red wine fan.

The berries and just a touch of sweetness from the honey were insanely good. I'm not suggesting you make one of these every day, but there are days, like Mondays, when a red wine smoothie would really help you out. 
Wine smoothie recipeThis smoothie with red wine is the perfect thing for your next girl's getaway. I feel like it's the perfect pre or post-hike beverage (if that's the kind of thing you do on a girl's trip. I prefer to sleep).

Check out The Santa Clarita Diet now! What are you watching on Netflix right now?? I literally had to put my life on pause to finish the first season of Quantico. I was hooked.

And I kept thinking there was just one more episode…But I'm done now I'm done and I am back to being a productive(ish) citizen…until the next season comes out…

Maybe you don't want wine in your smoothie, and that's ok.

This is the earliest we've gotten our tree and now our house is full of holiday magic.🎄 ⠀ @chevrolet loaned us a Silverado for the week so we could go have a Christmas family adventure. We visited our first cut-your-own tree farm and I'm sharing where you can visit in LA and OC!🎄 Plus, find my tips for how to get your Christmas tree home. Whether you cut your own or get one from a lot, there are a few things you need to do!🎄 We truly loved getting to know the 2019 Silverado. Head to the blog to find out why, grab the list of tree farms and find out how to safely bring that tree home! Use the link in my bio! 🎄

I didn’t know I was a truck girl. But I’m totally a truck girl. @chevrolet loaned us a 2019 Silverado for the week and my whole family is in love. It takes forever to get anywhere though. Every time we park the boys take a few minutes to exert their dominance over the parking lot (see my stories). The Silverado is going on all of our Christmas lists. 🙌🏻🎄🙏 #Silverado #chevrolet #chevroletsilverado

Need a family activity to do while you wait for the turkey? Interview your family! sponsored ⠀ A few months ago I headed to the @gpneighborhoods to interview my best friend with @storiesfromtheoc and @storycorps. The conversation is archived in the Library of Congress. And now you can record interviews with the Story Corps app from your own home! It's the perfect Thanksgiving activity! You can talk about any topic you want but I love the idea of talking about how family traditions got started. Use the links in my bio to find the Story Corps app and hear my recording! #StoriesFromtheOC #StoryCorps
