A yummy summer beverage recipe!

Oh, I almost forget. Here’s a recipe for a refreshing summer smoothie that I enjoy frequently…especially since giving up my beloved sugar free ice cream bars.

Fill your blender about ½ to capacity with fresh seedless watermelon.

Add ½ can of unsweetened pineapple.

Add ½ packet of any sugar free, fruit punch drink mix. Make sure it’s the 2 quart sized packet, and not those singles for bottled water.

Add two or three packets of artificial sweetner.

Fill blender the rest of the way with water and ice.

Give it whir and enjoy.

Besides, it’s the only way you can eat watermelon and pineapple now that you’re banded!

Cheers!
