Citrus Acai Watermelon Smoothie

My girls wanted me to make smoothies for them. They are totally hooked with my creativity along with the foods especially with the smoothies.

My second daughter wanted something with watermelon. So I was thinking "yeah, watermelon would work with a group of citrus like lemon, lime and orange to bring up more tangy flavors. However I don't have lime in my kitchen but lemon and orange would work it out.

I had bought a fresh seedless watermelon and cut it into chunks and freeze it. In order to make the smoothie with fresh fruits, it's wise to freeze it because if you are using fresh fruits that hasn't freeze then it wouldn't make great smoothie -would become mushy drink *you don't want that*. So freeze the fresh fruits acts like a second duty as being as ice!

I decided to add Acai into that smoothie. It's an excellent antioxidant!!! In case if you wonder what was Acai?! Acai is a berry type that is grown on trees mostly in warmer climates. It has many benefits like aging, cancer, detoxifying your body, boost up your energy, improving your digestion and etc.

You can find the Acai puree in the freezer section along with those organic fruits at the local supermarket where they sells the organic foods.

Ingredients:
Handful (1 or 2) of freeze chunks of seedless watermelon
1 packet of Acai puree
2 to 4 big scoops of lemon sorbet
1 lemon- freshly squeezed (make sure no seeds go into)

Blend it altogether and it will shows lots of clutters.

Slowly add some of orange juice while blending those fruits altogether until it becomes smoothly.

Not very sweet but just a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors!

Enjoy the tangy drinks!

You can double it to make that smoothie :D
