Rhubarb Strawberry Smoothie

Around here smoothies are king in the mornings, and some afternoons too. We use frozen fruit for smoothies and go through it lickety-split. Earlier this week while stocking up on frozen berries, I ran across frozen rhubarb, and had to take the opportunity to try a Rhubarb Strawberry Smoothie combination.
Frozen rhubarb? Who knew.
The frozen rhubarb reminded me of my friend, Julie, who has just tweeted about needing a recipe for a rhubarb strawberry pie, which made me instantly think of another friend, Georgia, and her drool-worthy recipe for Rhubarb Strawberry Pie that I’ve been pining for since discovering it last year.
I ramble.
Anyway, I put two and two together, and since I’m trying to forgo the major sweets right now because I dread short sleeve season almost as bad as matching socks, okay, maybe worse than matching socks, I decided give the Rhubarb Strawberry Smoothie combo a go.
Using frozen fruit makes smoothies quick and easy in the mornings when I’m half awake, but you can easily use fresh fruit instead.
To the frozen fruit, add honey (substitute sugar or another sweetener if needed), milk, and acai or pomegranate juice. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Blend everything up until smooth.
What a pretty color huh? I so enjoy eating pretty colored food. I think you will too.

Ingredients

I’ve never had rhubarb but trying it this way ay convince me!
Wow, I never would have thought to put rhubarb into a smoothy. I love rhubarb in pie, must try this for my morning smoothy! Thanks for sharing
Love! Frozen fruit in a smoothie is the only way to go. 🙂
Delish!! I love this and cant wait to try some… as soon as I find some rhubarb! 🙂
Like Car, I’ve never had rhubarb either – but I love to look at it. It’s so pretty!
I make loads of smoothies too, most with frozen berries. I never thought of adding rhubarb. Great idea!
Delicious. I can just imagine the tart that this gives the smoothie. Sounds refreshing!
Love the idea of rhubarb in smoothies! i’ve never seen it frozen either, sounds so good! Thanks!
Oh my goodness Amy I can NOT wait to try this!! Strawberry-rhubarb is one of my favorite combos, and I’ve never thought to make it into a smoothie before! Will be making it this week!
We have two large rhubarb plants coming up so we will give this recipe a try!
This looks so good! I just bought some fresh rhubarb at the market, but haven’t been able to figure out what to make. My hubby hates it (with a passion) so I knew I had to make something just for me, and this looks like the perfect solution! 🙂
THAT looks so delicious!
And pretty.
I need to get some rhubarb in my life.
You make smoothies look wonderful!
A. I miss Publix from when we lived in Alabama.
B. I’ve never had rhubarb. Ever.
i bet that tastes like pie . . . well pie without crust . . . and flour . . . butter . . . sugar . . . ok so i think it must taste like a rhubarb-strawberry smoothie
People have been posting recipes for “muffin” smoothies where they add oats to give it that bread-ish taste. I haven’t tried it yet, but I bet you could do something similar to get the taste of pie crust without as much butter/sugar/etc ;-D
I’m determined to try rhubarb for the first time this year! Great idea to put it in a smoothie 🙂
I’d love one of these right about 9 o’clock tonight or first thing in the morning. Do you deliver?
You found frozen rhubarb! How lucky, I always try and freeze some myself because I can’t find any in the stores. I just adore rhubarb!
NUM! My hubby always complains that our rhubarb goes to waste after the first month. I think I will be freezing it for smoothies! Best part, I don’t have to buy it. Thank you for sharing!
This looks wonderful and so healthy too. I will be trying it.
I have never seen frozen rhubarb. I’m going to have to have a chat with our local store manager about that because I want one of these gorgeous smoothies.
