Berries, beets and a chunk of frozen watermelon make this shake a health sensation!


Colorful foods make me so excited!

Berrylicious Watermelon Smoothie

Good morning and Happy Father's Day to all dads! Especially mine! ;)

Nothing says summer is here like watermelon. I love fresh, ripe watermelon that it so juicy it drips down your arm! 

Start your morning off with a Berrylicious Watermelon Smoothie! This smoothie is packed with flavor, ice cold and so yummy. I recommend drinking up as watermelon is high in vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B-6 and more!




Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of fresh watermelon
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1+ cup frozen mixed berries
  • handful (6-7) dates
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds
  • Opt: Feel free to add protein powder (recommend vanilla flavor), if so add dash of water.
Directions:
  1. Place ingredients in high speed blender
  2. Place on high or smoothie setting 
  3. Pour in glass and top with slice of watermelon!
Have a wonderful day!
