Peachy Watermelon Smoothie
http://bhojan.blogspot.com
I love watermelon and the fact that it is only in season for such a short time means I try to eat it as often as I can during the few summer months when it is at its most refreshing and sweet. For some reason I don’t often use it my smoothie recipes even though watermelon is a incredibly healthy food for you. This delicious food is packed with some of the most powerful antioxidants in nature, including Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin B7. These reduce the chance of colon cancer, relieve some symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, according to The World’s Healthiest Foods. So here is a summer smoothie recipe featuring watermelon, strawberries and peach flavor.
Peachy Watermelon Smoothie Ingredients:
- 2-3 cups watermelon (seeded)
- 1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup strawberries (frozen)
- 1/2 cup peach juice
(or try 1 peach if you don’t have juice)
You know the drill, add to your blender and blend until smooth. Makes 2 nice size glasses.
Just Dew It Smoothie
I just bought a Vitamix Blender and this is one of the smoothie recipes that was included in the recipe book. It is not often I include a melon smoothie so honeydew smoothie recipe is a welcome addition.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Honeydew chunks
- 1 medium orange
- 1/2 medium peach, pitted
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks, core can be included
- 1 cup ice cubes
Preparation: Start blender at low and increase slowly to high. Blend for 45 seconds or until desired smoothie-ness is reached. ;-) It should yield about 2 servings (3 1/4 cups)
Strawberry Peach Carrot Smoothie
Next time, I think I’d omit the yogurt in favor of a banana (not a big fan of yogurt’s tanginess in smoothies) and add an extra carrot for sweetness (this wasn’t unsweet, which is why I didn’t add agave nectar, but I figure an extra carrot for sweetness is still a sneaky way of getting more…carrot. Also, I know it seems odd that carrot adds more sweetness than the fruit, but it does).
Ingredients:
- 1 medium carrot (peeled)
- 1 fresh peach
- 6 or so frozen strawberries
- 1/2 container of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon flax seed oil
Blend blend blend until somewhat runny (the frozen strawberries make this more like a frozen yogurt when first combined, needs a little more blending action to make it drinkable).

Dandy Dandelion Smoothie
Well, here is something new to try for me: dandelion greens. Here is some information about dandelion greens. Of course, adding them to a smoothie is a good way to get them into your diet. We all need more greens.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups dandelion greens
- 2 cups apple juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 mango
- 1 peach
Blend until creamy, then drink and feel healthier, you just had a green smoothie.
