Fresh Fruit Smoothies

by Market Manager

Ingredients

1 cup cubed watermelon
1 cup strawberries
1 cup fat-free Sugar River yogurt
1 cup raspberries
2 tablespoons honey or stevia to taste
Ice as needed

You can use your choice of fruits for this smoothie and use any sweetener you wish.

Directions

  1. Blend all the ingredients. (If you are using watermelon, blend it first to create enough liquid to blend the other fruit. Or, use 1/2 cup of orange juice or any other juice as the liquid). Other fruit options that go well are grapes, bananas, apples, peaches, etc.
  2. Pour into two tall glasses and garnish with a small slice of fruit. Serve.
