Summer Fruit Smoothie
Prepare yourself for a bold taste of summer with this fruit smoothie. The juice adds enough sweetness that I usually do not need to add any sweetener. Because of the high water content of these fruits, this smoothie tends to melt down fairly quickly.
Another way to use this blend of fruit is to freeze in an ice cube tray and use the frozen cubes to chill and flavor a pitcher of water.
Ingredients:
1 cup seedless watermelon
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cantaloupe
1 banana
1/4 cup pineapple
1 cup ice
4 to 5 fresh basil leaves
Directions:
Place all the items in your blender or smoothie machine and let it rip! It really doesn't get any easier. Enjoy!

I just started making smoothies at home about 3 months ago. Have to say I have had some strange mix of fruit but they always taste good…………….. i am going to try just need ot pick up a few item

Yet another delicious looking, but healthy, recipe.

The fruit smoothie sounds good. I’m not sure about the basil leaf. It’s pretty pungent.
we love watermelon and I have an extra one in the fridge I am making this tonight..yummy
Sincd watemelon is so sweet I love to use it with other fruits and not add any additional sugar to the smoothie.
Now I just need a blender to try this.
My fiancee bought me a Ninja Smoothie maker for my birthday. I’m not usually a fan of household appliances as gifts as feel they are more of a household need but I am addicted. This recipe would also be great with adding wine to the recipe like a moscato.
Smoothies might be my comfort food!
This is really good. I love watermelon. This is the perfect light, refreshing drink.
Wow this looks awesome and this combination of ingredients sounds much better than a bowl of fruit! I love the ice cube idea, too!

I have a watermelon in the fridge I was going to be making something just like this out if. I also use the frrezer cubes, it adds a nice touch to a water! I dont add the basil though and I might try that.
A recipe complete with some of the readily available fruit – shared / liked with that of many for which I’m sure will enjoy them throughout the Summer! Many ideas come to mind, it might even be prepared for that of an energy drink when doing that of fundraisers to reinstate that of the vitamins that will wither in the heat of the sun!
