Watermelon is a favorite in my household. Besides being absolutely delicious and refreshing, it is high in water and an excellent thirst quencher. In addition, watermelon is a great source of
- Vitamin C: for growth and repair of tissue, building of the immune system and absorption of iron
- Vitamin A: for healthy skin and membranes, night vision and a strong immune system
- Lycopene, an antioxidant currently thought to be beneficial in the prevention of certain types of cancer
Making the juice was rather simple.
I gathered the leftover watermelon
Place the watermelon in a blender and blend until liquified
Add a splash of fresh squeezed lime juice and serve over ice.
To retain the fiber and other valuable nutrients, enjoy this as a smoothie and avoid removing the pulp.
Here’s to your health!
