And Yet Another Smoothie - Lemonade Smoothie

If those words "Lemonade Smoothie" don't just scream SUMMER nothing does!

This recipe comes from the Stonyfield website (actually from their newsletter that takes you to the site) and I couldn't wait to try it out. Of course the first thing I did was get to the store to purchase a nice, juicy seedless watermelon. Instead of using "premade" lemonade I created a glass to my liking with all natural products, sweetening it with a little organic raw honey. Just click on the pic below to get to their original recipe! It's SOOOO delicious and just screams SUMMER TIME FUN! I've listed "my version" below.

Stonyfield's Lemonade Smoothie
(Recreated Bev Style)

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

 

1 cup prepared lemonade *Note: I created this by simply adding equal amounts of lemon & water to 1/2 the amount of honey (I like it sweet) - You could use Stevia or Agave nectar if you prefer, to your taste.

1 cup chopped seedless watermelon

1 cup Stonyfield Oikos Fat Free Vanilla Greek Yogurt

2 cups crushed ice

Simply blend together in a blender until smooth and serve!

I ended up making the lemonade in a glass and sipping it as I went along to figure out how much more "sweetener" I needed. I may try it with Agave next time but I'm not so thrilled with the flavor of agave. I may actually just go ahead and use a simple syrup also,with raw sugar. Yes, I like to limit my sugars but sometimes it's okay for a treat. Here's a great recipe using simple syrup and creating a homemade lemonade I found... HOMEMADE LEMONADE MADE WITH SIMPLE SYRUP and I think I may try it, again using a raw sugar.

Wish me luck on my journey to "eating clean" and  healthy!
