Stay Cool with a Fruit Smoothie

Monday, August 09, 2010

               
I know we talked about smoothies not so long ago but in this hot, hot weather it seems time to remind ourselves how refreshing a cool fruit smoothie could be.  So I opened the refrigerator and took out a few items- fresh watermelon, fresh strawberries, pomegranate  juice, but my secret to making  it cool was to use the bananas I had frozen in the freezer. 
                                                                  
(So here's the deal, instead of looking at those bananas getting too ripe setting on your counter, slice them, put them in a baggie and pop in the freezer.  By having them sliced  before freezing, they will blend perfectly.) 
So I put the fruit along with the banana slices in the blender with about about a half a cup of pomegranate juice and blended.  Topped with a sprig of mint and there you have it- a delicious, refreshing drink!  Any fruits will do, but this was my yummy drink this week.
