A refreshing smoothie perfect for the 4th of July!
Ingredients
  • 1 c. ripe watermelon cubes
  • 2 c. frozen strawberries
  • 1 c. gingerale or lemon-lime soda
  • Additional sugar or stevia to taste, if needed
  • ¼ c. or more fresh blueberries
  • Haupia Jello:
  • 1-12 oz. can light coconut milk
  • 2-3 T. sugar, or stevia to taste
  • 2 T. unflavored gelatin
Instructions
  1. Combine coconut milk, sugar and gelatin in a small saucepan. Whisk together and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Pour into a 9" square or round pyrex type pan, so that the liquid is about ½" high. Chill for 2 or more hours until firm. Use a 1" cookie cutter to cut out stars.
  2. For the smoothie, blend watermelon, strawberries and soda in a blender until smooth. If your fruit is really sour, you may need to sweeten up a bit with some sugar or stevia. Pour into cups. Top each smoothie with blueberries and haupia stars.
  3. This will make approximately 16 oz. of smoothie, and you should be able to cut out 30-32 stars. I used five stars to top the cup, so there are enough stars for 6 or so glasses. If you make the smoothie recipe part two more times you will have be able to have six 8 oz. cups.
  4. (Weight Watcher's point plus value: 1 pt. using diet soda and stevia)
