**Full Disclosure: I received the Good Cook fruit bowl in exchange for this post. No other compensation was exchanged. All opinions are my own.
I love all the fresh fruit available in the summer months. Strawberries, grapes and watermelon are my favorites. I wash & cut the fruit as soon as I get home from the store so that they are easy to grab and eat. But they get old and moldy in my fridge just a few days after I bring them home. The Good Cook 3-pc. Fresh Fruit Bowl (available at exclusively at Bed Bath and Beyond) keeps my fruit fresh longer.
The fruit bowl is a 7 quart bowl comprised of a large colander inside a bigger bowl with handles and a pour spout. The colander allows the juices to drain to the bottom bowl which keeps the fruit from sitting in its own juice. The bowl has a rubberized bottom to keep it from sliding around! The juices can be poured out of the bowl without removing the lid. The ProFreshionals fruit bowl is BPA-free. The colander and bowl are meant to be used together, but you could separate them if you wanted.
The fruit bowl is amazing but it takes up almost an entire shelf in my fridge! I’d like to see a smaller version so it would fit better in the refrigerator.
I prepped the fruit by washing it and dicing it. After I put it in the fresh fruit bowl, I put it in the fridge to use for smoothies. James helped me measure out the watermelon.
Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie Recipe –
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 5 strawberries
- ½ cup ice
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt, optional
- Throw the watermelon cubes in a blender and mix until smooth. Add strawberries and ice (and yogurt if you are using it) – blend until smooth again.
- ENJOY!
The smoothie took less than five minutes to prepare (because the fruit was already washed & cut) and it was so refreshing and tasty!
