Red Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 c water or milk of your choosing
- 1/2 c Vanilla whole fat yogurt Optional, but it's more of a thin drink and less of a smoothie without the yogurt.
- 1 c fresh, sweet, peak of the season strawberries hulled and cut in half or fourths Frozen are perfectly acceptable, and probably preferable to crummy fresh ones.
- 1 c watermelon chunks It's bland and not very sweet without the watermelon
- 1/2 c cherry tomatoes, cut in half You can't taste the tomato flavor, they are there for their color.
- 2 T collagen powder Optional
- 1 T Honey Optional
Instructions
- Put the liquid in first, then the fruit, then the add-ins.
