Other years I’ve put a lot of thought into my smoothie combinations.  This year since I don’t have as big of a fruit supply at my ready it’s been a bit more slapdash.  But I’ve still been able to put together some good smoothies!  This week we have a lot of watermelon to work through and some cherries I want to eat before they go bad and thus the cherry watermelon smoothie was born.  Watermelon smoothies are always a lot thinner than the other smoothies I usually make due to their high water content so keep that in mind when putting it together.
