I'm so sorry, but this one was just not to our liking. I think perhaps it was the proportions. As my watermelon was HUGE, there was no way I could get 1/4 of it in the blender so I had to guess on how much would be correct. I tried this several ways but just could not get it to be one we would drink. I think the idea is great, I just think more guidance would be good. (What kinds of berries work best, and actual amounts.) Thanks so much for posting a healthy one to try. Sorry it did not work out for us.

This is wonderfully refreshing. I really didn't measure any of my ingredients either as Jubes stated. I used both fresh and frozen strawberries and also one frozen banana. A good 1/2 blender full of watermelon and a splash of milk. DH wanted some also and so after blending all together and pouring mine in a tall glass I added a few scoops of vanilla icecream (frozen vanilla yogurt would be great too) to the mix for him. So good and creamy. I didn't add ice, cinnamon or honey. I did put in one packet of splenda to my mix before adding the icecream:-)

*Reviewed for PAC September 07* My daughters both give you 5 stars for this one. We used 1/4 of a small watermelon with fresh strawberries and 1 banana. I dont really think that measurements were required for this smoothie as you can just add your fruits to your own persoanl preferences. My youngest DD (3) was oohing and laughing with delight as we added the fruit to the blender and then poured it into the glasses. Photo also to be posted. A great healthy smoothie and I can see that it would make a great frozen dessert

Hi! I found this site looking for new recipes to cook for my family. I have two wonderful children, a girl and a boy. We all have food allergies, so I try to find recipes that I can adapt into wheat, dairy and sugar free. I love trying to do this, it is so much fun finding new things to cook and experimenting with food is becoming somewhat of an addiction for me, though my time is otherwise occupied!
My daughter loves to help me cook so I also try to get ideas where she can help. She loves stirring cookie dough which is good because I love eating the cookies!! If you would like to contact me my email is classic_harp@yahoo.com
see you there!!
