Wavy Watermelon Smoothie

August 7, 2010 · Filed Under Melon Smoothies · 1 Comment 

As I look on my counter and see a delicious watermelon waiting to be cut and sliced for the sweet, sweet fruit inside, I can’t help but think about using some of it for a yummy watermelon smoothie. Here is a smoothie that uses said watermelon and some ingredients you may not think go with watermelon. As always, try it and comment what you thought.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks, no rind please.
  • 1 banana
  • 5 leaves romaine lettuce
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon <–this gives the smoothie a great flavor.

Blend it an really enjoy it while watermelons are still in season. Makes 2 servings or 2 quarts.

Banana Crunch Breakfast Smoothie

July 10, 2010 · Filed Under Breakfast Smoothies · 3 Comments 

Don’t want to sit down and eat your breakfast out of a bowl? This breakfast smoothie is great for those of us who are running late for work and prefer to drink our breakfast on the way to work. This smoothie for breakfast has it all: breakfast cereal, milk and fruit.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup milk (I use skim or 1%)
  • 2 Tbs. of honey or sugar-free honey substitute
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup of ice

Be sure to comment how this turned out for you. It can seem weird drinking granola, but it really just gives the drink a nice texture. You also might want to try adding 1/4 or 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to add a bit of tart flavor or to help smooth it out.

I love mango in a smoothie and adding pineapple makes for one of my favorite flavor combos. So it tastes good, but adding spinach makes it a green smoothie and that makes it healthier.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of spinach
  • 1 mango
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup water

Serves 2, but you won’t be surprised if you finish it by yourself.

No time for a bowl of granola cereal? Take a granola smoothie to go. Great breakfast smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1 banana
  • 2 Tbs honey
  • 3/4 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup ice

1 serving, but it is a delicious serving. Feel free to use more or less fat in your milk as you prefer. I like a little milk fat, so I chose 1%.

Another green smoothie with a distinct flavor. Mixing pear and banana is something you will discover is a delicious and wonderful flavor combination. You won’t even taste the kale, but you will still get the health benefits.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 Gala apple
  • 1 pear
  • 1 cup of kale
  • 1/2 cup water

This makes 2-3 servings, but don’t feel bad downing the entire smoothie by yourself. It is that good.
