Cheap Healthy Food – Cheap Healthy Meals. Watermelon, Strawberry and Banana Smoothie. Watermelon, Strawberry and Banana Smoothie Last week, I faced a dire situation: Mark and I decided to make mid-afternoon margaritas, and his “on the rocks special” just wasn’t cutting it. With our new refrigerator’s crushed ice maker on the job, I was expecting an icy, beach-worthy drink with everything but the sand. It kept me dreaming. But, with a blender bought in the same hour of the first margarita attempt, the ultimate frozen fruity drink was a reality and we sailed off into buzzed bliss before 5 o’clock.

So, since I bought the blender, I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of fruity drinks, and this smoothie has turned out to be one of my absolute favorites! Print Save Yield: Makes about 4 servings Ingredients: 5 cups seedless watermelon chunks 1 ripe banana, peeled 6 strawberries, rinsed and hulled 1/3 cup milk, any kind Directions: Liquefy all fruit together in a large blender.

Enjoy! A little fun with summer. July is National Watermelon Month and one more joy of going to the farmers market. Compliments of Country Living Magazine July 2009. Garden fresh from the heavens above. Puree in a blender, 4 cups of 1/2 inch size of seedless watermelon, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. Pour this into a 9x13 inch pan and place in the freezer and stir frequently with a fork until slushy. This will take about 2 1/2 hours. Pour into glasses and serve. Cut the seedless watermelon in 1/2 inch slices and use small cookie cutters to cut out the shapes.
