Watermelon refresher

Looking for a refreshing post summer workout energy booster? Try this cooling watermelon beverage! Watermelon contains lots of water, and it is packed with antioxidants, minerals, and nutrients, including cancer preventing lycopene. In fact, watermelon contains more lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable. *

Ingredients:

¼ watermelon, peeled and diced (or a 12-ounce-sized container)

1 cucumber, peeled and cut up

¼ cup mint leaves

½ cup of ice

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until “slushy” consistency. (I like mine a little chunky.) . Garnish with mint leaf (optional).

Remember, BeeFitters, food determines how we feel and heal!
