Anyone like blending fruit in water?

Does anyone else do this? I have started blending fruit with a little stevia into a mason jar full of water (blending with food processor). It gets 3 of my glasses of water and 1 serving of fruit out of the way 1st thing in the morning. It makes me feel alert, refreshed, full, and ready to have a healthy day. I even got my husband doing it too now and he likes it.
I usually use things like watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, cuties orange, or basically anything juicy.
Sometimes I add a squeeze of lemon. I like raspberry & lemon or watermelon the best so far. My husband likes orange.
Does anyone else do this? Any ideas for a good blend?

I don't blend it but I love to chop up strawberries and some lemon juice. I may have to try the blending thing.0

It honestly sounds a little gross, but then good at the same time..... lol. I would use my blender more often if it wasn't so dang loud in the morning! ;p0

I love blending my fruit and vegi's! My favorite is kale, spinach, cauliflower, carrots, a banana, mango and coconut oil for good fat with a cup or so of water. I like to keep it kinda chunky.0

I like to blend it with frozen water, and a cup of almond milk, with honey to taste.0

I like to use the NutriBullet for my fruits and veggies. I've even added a little cinnamon or cocoa powder to the mix. Usually use anywhere from 6-10 different types of fruits and veggies, and I try to stay away from making it all fruits.0

Oh, hell yes. Great minds think alike
Please search "agua fresca, recipe".
Mexicans drink dozens of fruits/vegetables blended in water.
Lemon. Lime. Orange. Apple. Papaya. Melon. Watermelon. Lemonade with chia seeds. Mago. Carrot/orange. Coconut (inc. the pulp, not just coconut water), horchata (rice soaked in water), jamaica (hibiscus infusion, like karkadev from morocco/middle east), guanabana (custard apple), cucumber, tamarind, pineapple alfalfa...
heck, we also make popsicles by freezing these0 -

The berry seeds sink to the bottom, so they are avoidable if you do not like the texture, but it is pretty good. It looks pretty and foamy.0 -

What a great idea. I was blending fruit and vegs into a little water or milk to get a green shake.
This way would help me get my fruits and help me get through some water early in the day.
Also much nicer to take to work than a jar of thick green sludge, which gets comments from my work mates.0 -
What else is really good on a hot summer day is slicing cucumbers very thin and putting them in a pitcher of cold water/ Just let them sit for a half hour or so and drink it all day; I just keep the pitcher in the refrige. It may sound strange but it/s surprisingly refreshing! :0

I like what you've done with the fruit in your profile pic.
Just do that.0 -

They come out in bright colors of red, pink, orange, yellow, ect.. depending on what and how much you use.
for me it is about
1 cup for berries with a splash of lemon and 3 cups of water
or 2 cups watermelon and about 2 1/2 cups water
Add stevia to taste for the berry ones, but the watermelon is great just as is.0 -
