The Best Thing About Summer

Summer is my favorite time of the year and the reason is simple; fresh fruit. I am totally addicted to watermelon and I will find all kinds of different ways to use it. The best is just to cut it into cubes (large cubes) and eat it. I also like to add it to anything I can. One of my favorite fruit combinations is watermelon and pineapple.

Fresh watermelon and pineapple chunks
















Since my wife and I bought our juicer I have been creating all kinds of combinations and you don't have to be vegan to appreciate these.

Watermelon Freeze














Above is my "Watermelon Freeze"
This couldn't be simpler. Into the juice goes:
Watermelon
Pineapple
Black Grape

After juicing I added a couple cups of ice to my blender and poured the juice over it and blended until smooth. 

Another Smoothie that I created has become a favorite around my house.
Juice the following:
2 granny smith apples
1 cup of fresh cherries 
1/4 pineapple

In a blender put:
1/4 large papaya
2 bananas
Ice (the amount depends on your personal taste)

Fruit Smoothie














This smoothie is as sweet as candy.
If you have any suggestions I'm completely open to them, comment below and tell me what your favorites are.
