Watermelon Smoothies

Hello Bloggers! I have been busy today working on Emma's wedding, cleaning the house for the reception and making grocery lists for next month.The above picture is one of Chris and Emma's engagement pictures.
Remember the watermelon I cut earlier last week, well, I finally used the last of it up making smoothies yesterday. Chris was mowing and as I cleaned the house I thought that we needed something refreshing. It was really tasty and very few ingredients.
Watermelon Smoothie
8 cups seeded watermelon, cubed
2 cups of ice
Throw in a blender and blend
Drink and enjoy!

Talk about easy and fast. I loved this smoothie, but Chris said that it was lacking something, but this comes from a man who eats little debbies everyday. I though it was perfectly sweet and was so crisp and refreshing that I drank two!
Today I made orange banana smoothies again and left out the soy milk, I like it even better this way so I will only make it like that from now on!!!!
The house is really coming along and Chris and I have been busy outside getting the yard. We are setting up Christmas lights in all of our bushes and along the side walk for the reception. We will play crooner music like Michael Buble`and Frank Sinatra. We have dozens of candles to place around and on the front porch on the ceiling Chris placed hundreds of icicle lights. It will be a beautiful night full of love and happiness!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Very pretty! I am personally a fan of watermelon + grapes smoothies. Extreme thirst-quenching capabilities!

Griff-Fam- Welcome, it is nice of you to comment on my blog! It is a totally cool way to cut a watermelon! That way it doesn't juice all over you and you have a handle!!
My daughter is very happy and their wedding was so beautiful!
