Summary:
Sammy Holness uses these seven fresh fruits for the smoothies he makes at the Crossroads Farmers Market in Takoma Park. But other fruit can be substituted -- just make sure they're ripe.
Makes ten 8-ounce servings
Ingredients:
- 1 medium mango, peeled and pitted
- 8 medium strawberries, hulled
- 2 peeled bananas, cut into chunks
- 1 cup seedless red grapes
- 2 peeled and cored pears (any kind)
- 1/2 cup honeydew melon chunks
- 1/2 cup cantaloupe chunks
- 5 cups unsweetened apple juice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- Mint sprigs , for garnish
Directions:
Combine the ingredients (except for the garnish) in a large bowl. Pour half the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth, then transfer to a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Add to the first half and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until well chilled; to serve, pour into glasses and garnish with mint.
