Watermelon Strawberry All-Fruit Smoothie: Thirst-quenching Summer Fun

Sitting on the deck, visiting with friends on a warm Summer afternoon, it doesn't get much better than that. Oh wait... how about if you add in good food and a Watermelon Strawberry All-Fruit Smoothie? Now, the afternoon just got better.

Watermelon is a staple in our kitchen during the Summer. I love to cut large chunks and keep it in the fridge, nice and cold for snacks. And for picnics and potlucks, watermelon on a stick just can't be beat.

As for the strawberries, well we love those almost year round. But right now, it's strawberry picking season in our area. Nothing compares to a delicious, juicy, fresh picked strawberry.

So when we paired the two juicy fruits together, we knew it would be a hit! Not only was this Watermelon Strawberry Refresher a hit with my boys and wife, it's also packed with vitamins, but we won't tell them that.
