Fresh fruit drink blends - Angie - 08-16-2008 Fresh fruit blend 4 cups of your favorite fruit juice 1 cup whole strawberries or chopped large fruit 2 cups small berries (boysenberry, mulberry, blackberry, blueberry) 1 banana (very ripe) Thoroughly rinse all fruit (except the banana) in cold water, place in a container and let sit in your freezer for 45 minutes. If you have a juicer use fully ripened fruit and prepare it for juicing as indicated in your appliance guide book. Remove chilled fruit from your freezer and place in a blender along with fruit juice. Peel banana and slice in ½ inch pieces and place in blender. Blend on high to desired consistency. Pour in beverage tumblers and enjoy. This drink provides a good source of antioxidants, which help lower cholesterol, ward off cardiovascular disease, and help maintain a healthy immune system. Variation for a smoothie: To turn this decadent blend into your favorite smoothie or energy drink just add your favorite yogurt and/or protein powder. |
