Watermelon Strawberry Summer Refresher

This refreshingly sweet smoothie is perfect for summer days.

We love smoothies in our household and we drink them year-round.  They really are so versatile, we make them as healthy snacks, refreshing drinks to go along with a meal and even sometimes as a quick meal replacement. But sometimes you drink a smoothie and it just feels like it is meant for a specific purpose.  This is one of those smoothies.

As with all of my smoothies, this is quick and easy.  Simply throw the ingredients in your blender and turn it up to high, just long enough to see that any whole fruit pieces have been pureed and all ingredients have been properly mixed.  Here are the ingredients:

In case the photo is hard to read, you will need these ingredients and I would put them in the blender in this order: 1 cup frozen strawberry pieces, 1/2 cup Greek vanilla yogurt, 2 cups watermelon puree.  And that's it!  Blend until smooth, sweet and delicious!

This smoothie just screams summer!  Maybe it's the taste of watermelon that makes you feel like you're munching on a sweet slice at a summer picnic, or maybe it's the strawberries that make you feel like you're drinking a daiquiri by the pool, but you can clearly taste each of these sweet and delicious fruits in this drink separately and yet they somehow combine to create an amazing new taste that you will want to keep drinking.  Try it and you will be hooked!  This drink would be a perfect accompaniment for a hot summer's day anywhere.  One sip and you'll be taken away  to your own summer paradise, whether that's a tropical beach somewhere or your own backyard.  Just hold the glass up to your ear and you will hear the sweet sound of summer calling.     -Kay
