Four options for this fruity recipe.
Strawberries and rhubarb make for a healthy and delicious pairing. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C (necessary for immune and skin health) and manganese (helps many processes in your body), and rhubarb is high in vitamin K (essential for bone health) and vitamin A (helps prevent premature aging).
Serves 4
Bring rhubarb, water and 100% juice to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Cook until the rhubarb is very soft and broken down for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool. If you are in a hurry you may place a bowl of boiled rhubarb in a larger bowl with ice. Or you may also place the boiled rhubarb mixture into the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Transfer cooled rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries and sugar to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Serve in glasses or a bowl and garnish as desired or divide among popsicle holders for a frozen treat for later.
