Watermelon was on sale today, it made me think of this crazy good, refreshing drink.
1 seedless watermelon (about 6 pounds), cut in to chunks
3/4 cup lime juice (10 - 12 limes)
2 - 4 Tbsp. sugar
ice
Using a blender, puree the lime juice and watermelon together, working in batches. Pour the puree in to a pitcher, stir in 2 Tbsp. of sugar until dissolved; add more to taste if needed. Serve over ice, it looks gorgeous garnished with fresh lime slices and mint leaves.
If you prefer a thinner consistency or more subtle taste, you can dilute it with water.
Fitness, food, & writing are my passions, so of course, a blog. As a certified personal trainer in Napa, where food is an art form, I want to eat it, enjoy it, & still be able to get in to my jeans. Anti diet, pro healthy lifestyle. I've spent the last 20 yrs teaching about food & fitness, researching, & writing about it, so I've got a lot to say. I believe in balance; don't forget to do your pushups, & if you love 'em, by all means, enjoy some pancakes!
