My family loves a juicy watermelon – its our favorite summer treat! Not only is the flesh great in and of itself BUT we use the extra flesh to make smoothies! Here’s our recipe:

3 Cups of Melon
1 1/2 Cups of Strawberries (raspberries)
3 Tbsp Natural Lime Juice
1 Cup of Ice

And Blend Away!!!!!!!!

Did you know the Black seeds from a watermelon may help lower blood pressure?

Toast 1/2 Cup of Black Seeds over medium heat for 6-8 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water. Cook until evaporated, then cool.

Let’s talk SMOOTHIES……………..

You frequent the chain smoothie shops, but I have a newsflash for you – its not what you think!!!!!! The drinks are typically sugar packed – lots of Boom Boom with no POW!!!!!!!!

When you hear Green Smoothie what do you think of? I know nothing good, right? WRONG!!!! Well when you try my Green Smoothie Recipe you will think otherwise! Why you ask??? Because it tastes like fruit.

Next time you’re at the juice bar belly up and order a green smoothie.
