I have been on a search for the perfect smoothie blend with little to no sweetener and packed full of healthy goodness while still tasting good. When I saw the V8 V-Fusion® Refreshers in Black Cherry Berry flavor I knew it was going to be the juice base for my next smoothie. 

Mark has called my previous smoothies a “gelatinous” lump, and so stopped drinking them.  This time I was determined to get a consistency he liked and would drink. This was perfect for him, and he actually enjoyed the Cherry Berry Zucchini smoothie. Just please don’t tell him it has cherries in it, I don’t think he noticed!

The kids loved it as well and ignored the fact that there is a good bit of Zucchini in it. I loved it because I knew my kids and husband just got some awesome helpings of fruit and veggies, with no added sugars. V8 V-Fusion Refreshers first ingredient is Water and is followed up with fruit and vegetable juices. The rest of the list is short and contains all things that I can pronounce and actually know what it is. SCORE one for the health department.

For the smoothie, I did add some of my homemade peach honey which does contain sugar, but at 1 TBS of honey, there’s not a lot of added sweetener going into this zucchini smoothie. I think I’m going to continue adding  V8 V-Fusion® Refreshers to my smoothies for the extra boost of flavor and fruit/vegetable servings. Too bad my kids drank almost a whole bottle of the Tangerine Passionfruit in one meal – that would have made a pretty good smoothie base too!

Can you get any better than this? A juice made up mostly of water, homegrown zucchini, and peaches from my mom’s tree. Nope, it does not get any better!  I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

    I love that there is zucchini in this! I am always delighted with a recipe that has hidden veggies so I can sneak them into my kids without them even knowing! Pinning this!

    I would love for you to come over and link up at Wine'd Down Wednesday if you get a chance. We party every week from Tuesday evening to late Friday night! Hope to see you there!

    I haven't made a smoothie in forever but they'll be hitting our menu again with all the running we'll be doing close to lunch for the next few months.

    You are finding good uses for that freezer full of zucchini. I have to laugh at the "gelatinous" lump comment. Husbands can be too kind.

      I still have so much in there Diane! Thankfully I can fit a few other things in the freezer again though.
