...........I have one!! It's heading for 34 degrees here in Melbourne today. I have to admit, I LOVE it. So relaxing being warm, finally my shoulders peel themselves away from my ears and I am relieved of any up tight tension!!
I was in need of something thirst quenching so I reached for a chunk of watermelon and a coconut water......and the rest is history.....literally....I have gobbled it in mere seconds.
For a super easy, delicious and nutritious thirst quenching number, try this Watermelon whizz....
grab your blender, throw in quarter of a watermelon (ish), add a good few glugs of coconut water / juice and whizz away. You could add fresh mint and / or lime for a twist. Could also add ice or put the watermelon in the freezer for a bit to chill beforehand! DELISH!!
Why Watermelon?
It is a great source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A in the source of beta carotene. Pink watermelon is also a great source of the powerful anti oxidant lycopene (you know the jazzy little number we keep hearing about in tomatoes? Well it's also in mangoes as well). The tasty watermelon is also rich in B vitamins (think energy) as well as being a good source of potassium and magnesium.....need I continue....ok I'll stop now.
Lycopene 101 while we're at it....is a powerful anti oxidant with cancer preventing properties
I've written about the benefits of coconut water here.
Go NUTS!! Let me know if you have any favourite cooling summer drinks!
