Keep flu away with a healthy grape smoothie

MANILA, Philippines -A well-blended smoothie is always welcome any time of the day for those in need of a quick thirst quencher. Add a dose of good health to this well-loved beverage by blending Welch’s grape juice with local bananas.

Welch’s grape juice is 100-percent grape. It comes from the Concord grape variety grown only in Concord, Massachusetts, and known as an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants. The skin of the grape is where most of the antioxidant contents can be found. Welch’s uses the entire grape in pressing the juice — including the skin, fleshy part of the fruit and seeds — which means all of the healthy goodness of the Concord grape is retained.  

This Welch’s Grape Banana Smoothie recipe is sure to delight kids and adults alike because it’s tasty and scores high on health benefits.
