Cherry Smoothie

Cherries are my childhood favorite. I still remember picking cherries whenever my dad gets home cakes before anyone could even touch it. There are lots of instances where I literally fought with my elder sis. Recently I went to a supermarket and saw people grabbing some very fresh cherries and I too picked some. Thought of eating it fresh but my hubby was not interested and requested for something different and I came up with this.

Ingredients:
Cherries - 12 nos
Yoghurt - 300 ml
Ice cubes - few

Preparation:

1. Wash the cherries and remove the seeds.
2. Grind the cherries first in a blender.
3. Once ready add yoghurt, ice cubes and blend well again.

Serve chilled. It is so refreshing...

Watermelon Juice (Thanneer Mathan Juice)

Ohhh it is so hot here these days. I have been trying various juices to kill the heat. It is so common in our hometown to see people selling watermelons on road side in summer. So I thought of making a simple juice out of it. So refreshing!!!

Ingredients:
Watermelon : 1/2 small
Ice cubes : 10 nos
Sugar : To taste
Water : 1/2 cup

Preparation:

1. Take out the inner red juicy portion using a spoon and transfer it to a blender/juicer.
2. Add water, sugar and ice cubes and turn on the blender/juicer till juice is ready.
3. Transfer it to glasses.

Tips:
Add more ice cubes or refrigerate the juice, if you want it to be extra chilled.

Friends, please share how you gonna beat this summer???
