Watermelon Ecstasy Smoothie

This comes from a cook book I own called "The Ultimate Smoothie". I'd recommend the book because not only does it have instruction on the ingredients (where to find them/how to choose them) but it also has a complete nutritional work up of each recipe. Mine was $12.95 at Border's Books.

Most of the smoothies would not be called a low calorie food with each averaging 300 calories a glass, but they are a great way to enjoy fruit for breakfast or to pad your calorie count at the end of the day.

Makes 2 smoothies
1 cup pineapple juice
1 tbsp of honey
2 cups seeded and cubed watermelon (about 1/4 of the melon)
1 1/2 cups blueberries

Place the juice, honey, watermelon, and blueberries in a blender, and mix on low speed until the mixture is blended. Continue mixing, gradually, increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour into glasses.
