When our daughter still lived here, she used to make smoothies all of the time. Since, she has moved out, my husband and I have carried on with the tradition. Smoothies are a great way to get a lot of vitamins and minerals in one tasty food. I decided to play around with the Minty Watermelon Recipe one day and came up with this Blackberry Melon Smoothie. If you love the tartness of blackberries like I do, I think you will love this, too.
Blackberry Melon Smoothie Recipe
You Will Need…
2 cups chopped, seedless watermelon*
2 pints frozen blackberries
1 banana {we used fresh but you can use frozen if you like}
1 cup filtered water
*Since my husband doesn’t care for watermelon {except in smoothies} I like to buy a personal watermelon and cut it up so that I can make several smoothies out of it. Of course, you can buy already cut up watermelon to save time if you like, but keep in mine that it is also more expensive.
To Prepare…
1. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend on high until smooth. Serve immediately.
I love a recipe that is super easy. Don’t you? 😉
If you think this smoothie is too tart, you can always add some sweetener. I like it tart, though, so I add nothing. I am sure that you could also change it up with different berries, if you like, but I have not tried that yet. I might do that for a different recipe later to see how it works out. Really, the possibilities with smoothies are just endless.
If you love smoothies the way we do, but also want a little variety, be sure to check out these other great smoothie recipes, too…
