RECIPE | Apple-Strawberry-Cantaloupe Smoothie

This past summer's canteloupes were just so exquisitely sweet. My tastebuds have been eternally fulfilled with these melons. One of the things that I've lived on is my Apple-Strawberry-Canteloupe. Read on to see how I made it with my new VitaMix blender.

Ingredients:

1 medium apple
1 cup of whole strawberries
1 cup of canteloupe
squeeze of lemon

Instructions:
 

*Note: this recipe uses the NutriBullet. Check it out HERE.

1) Rinse all fruit under lukewarm to cold water in a colander. (* KitchenAid has a nice one HERE.)

2) Load the fruit into NutriBullet blender.

3) Fill the NutriBullet blender with chilled filtered water to the "max line".

4) Blend for 5 minutes.

How to serve:

Drink from the NutriBullet container or serve in a glass. This smoothie can be saved in the refrigerator. I like to have a little in the morning and then the rest for an afternoon snack. I would not save the smoothies for more than a day.

The Fruit Plate project is a beautiful set of 200 photographs of fruit arrangements made for his children's breakfast. He thought that arranging the fruit in an interesting way would encourage his kids to eat more fruit.  Roger's second intent was to continue making art.

RECIPE: Very Berry Fruit Salad

Fruit salad is an essential part of my eating healthy lifestyle. I love having fruit at any time of the day but mainly in the morning with eggs. Since, I don't eat carbs often, I usually start my day with scrambled eggs or an omelet followed by a fruit smoothie or fruit salad.

In this post, I share my favorite fruit salad.
