Relaxing Watermelon Drink

Contributed By: anvnq2
World's Healthiest Recipes

Looking for an easy, healthy drink to share with your whole family, or something to add healthy sweetness to your day?

Ingredients

Half A watermelon (seeded or seedless)
10 Fresh mint leaves

Preparation

To be better prepared have the following equipment; blender (of any kind), strainer, extra bowl, pitcher

1.) Begin by scooping out all of the watermelon from the watermelon, no need to separate seeds (if it's seeded). Place the scooped watermelon into the blender along with the 10 fresh mint leaves.

2.) Blend the ingredients until they are liquified (1 min)

*You may have to apply pressure with a spactula to the scooped watermelon while it is in the blender in order for the blender to blend it. (I have an old blender, so maybe that is why I have to do it)*

3.) Once the ingredients are liquified you will need to strain it into the extra bowl.

*I like to use an extra bowl instead of straining it directly into pitcher because it is not as messy.

4.) Take the strained ingredients and pour it into the pitcher.

5.) Serve and enjoy!

Cook's Notes

This drink is so pure and simple, there is nothing artifical or unhealthy about it. Watermelon is great for the heart, while mint is great for the digestive tract. Also, you can add/subtract more mint or watermelon. I find that by adding at least 10 leaves of mint per half watermelon makes the drink that much better! You will impress your family & friends!

This is a very good and easy recipe for a watermelon drink, when you have a lot of watermelon in the house and you are tired of eating slices of it. I added a few cubes of ice to each glass and it was refreshing. I used a half of watermelon and used several sprigs of fresh mint.
