Fresh Fruit Smoothies

These smoothies were a huge hit at the Melon Mania tasting event last summer. They're very easy to make, very healthy - no added sweeteners - and kids love them.

Strawberry/Melon

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 1 pound your favorite melon, cut in chunks
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup yogurt

Watermelon/Melon

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds watermelon, seeded and cut in chunks
  • 1 pound your favorite melon, cut in chunks
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup seedless grapes
  • splash of lime juice

To make the smoothies:

There are two ways to make the smoothies. If you plan ahead you can prepare all the fruit ahead of time and freeze it, then you will need no ice for your smoothies. If there isn't time to freeze the fruit ahead of time you can add ice as needed to get the consistency you like.

In either case, place all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

Add ice, frozen fruit or juice as needed to adjust the consistency.
