Sugar Free Watermelon Smoothie

So, there aren't any really great watermelon smoothies out there...at least none that I've tried. So when I came across one on a new blog I've found (GRACIOUSPANTRY), I was leery. Her version was different than what I tried, but man, it was a home run...even with my husband. He had just come home from a 20 mile mountain bike ride and he was all "this is refreshing!" Now, before going any further, This came out more of a juice than a smoothie. With the water in the watermelon and the apple juice, don't be disappointed when its thin.

On the graciouspantry blog, she called it her Triple Berry Watermelon Smoothie....but I won't be using her recipe, I'll give you the one I based off her suggestions.

FRUITMANIA

1 Cup mashed peaches
1 Cup frozen bluberries (I used frozen and it gave just enough "coldness" to the drink, I didn't need ice. If you use fresh, you may want to add a bit of ice)
1 Cup watermelon
2 Cups apple juice (sugar free)

Put everything in a blender and blend.

(Come on, this looks awesome!)

Orange Peach Smoothie

Ok, I have several home grown peaches that my in-laws gave me the other day. THANK YOU first of all. they are like candy!!! But they are all turning at the same time and I want to make sure NONE of them go bad. Elsje and I (and sometimes ezra) have a green smoothie or just a fruit smoothie every day for breakfast so today was going to be "peach" related. I googled Peach smoothie and sifted through a few that looked not really appetizing. I found one on Squidoo and adjusted it a bit. Here is what I ended up putting in my smoothie.

2 ripe Peaches
1 small orange
1/2 C vanilla yogurt
3/4 C milk
3 T honey
1-2 cups ice

combine all ingredients and blend.

Now, if you need to know how much I LOVED this smoothie, my baby is fussy cause I haven't fed him yet, and elsje is making a mess in her high chair as we speak. I love this smoothie so much, I'm putting my motherly duties on hold for 30 seconds to share it with you. and if any of you know me, I don't do ANYTHING for myself...seriously....


I hope you enjoy this smoothie!!!!!
