With summer on us, smoothies will become more and more popular again. If you have a Cuisinart Smoothie maker or a Cuisinart CBT 700 as the model name is, you will be making lots of smoothies this summer!

Making use of the abundance of fresh fruit available is a good idea and to give you an idea of a simple and easy smoothie here is a recipe for you to try.

Melon Berry Smoothie

What You Need:

  • ½ of a cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and chunked

  • 1 C fresh raspberries

  • ½ C yogurt

  • 1 ½ TBSP sugar

How to Make It:

  1. Place the cantaloupe and raspberries in the blender.

  2. Gently fold in the yogurt.

  3. Sprinkle with the sugar.

  4. Blend until smooth.

Using a flavored yogurt will change the taste of your smoothie. Experiment with different flavors to find the right taste for you.  If you are using a flavored yogurt adjust the sugar for your taste.

Of course, as with all smoothies you can improvise by adding different kinds of fruit or even go the less healthy way and add some vanilla ice cream!
