Low Cal Watermelonade

T

This fresh and tasty summer treat is from Self magazine. It’s a great way to cool off on a hot day.

4 cups cubed watermelon
juice of 1 large lemon (about 1/4 cup)
2 tbsp sugar
mint sprigs, for garnish, or be bold and use basil!

Combine watermelon, lemon, and sugar in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour over ice and add mint sprig. Recipe makes 4 servings.

Each serving is only 73 calories. This recipe works well because watermelon is mostly, well, water. When you puree it smooth, it becomes liquid.
