#7 Detox Smoothie

This smoothie turned out to be more of a soft serve ice cream.  Being in Florida, I have been able to get Watermelon.  We ate some and I froze some in cubes for smoothies.  Watermelon is a very hydrating fruit, as well as many other nutritional benefits.  Even though it is too early for Watermelon at home,  I will give a couple of drinks using it.  This first one is good to add Reliv products or your brand of vanilla protein powder.

                                            Pink Vanilla Watermelon Slushy

1 to 1/2 cup Watermelon frozen cubes
Half to 1 whole frozen Banana
3/4 cup or more Vanilla non-dairy Almond Milk
1 scoop Vanilla Protein powder

Add several Strawberries for a more complex flavor. 

If both fruits are frozen, use
I also added a cube of Grape Juice that I had frozen and collected in a bag.  Fill an ice tray with juice to make juice cubes for adding to water or smoothies.  The Strawberries and Grape Juice deepened the color too.

The next drink does not use milk or non-dairy milk and will therefore taste a good bit differently.  The add-ins suggest several alternatives to this versital drink.

       Watermelon Frosty Basic

2 cups of Watermelon
