Delicious and Refreshing Smoothie Recipe

The blend of fresh, sweet watermelon and tart lemons gives you a delightful and refreshing experience.

In other words, you’ll love these smoothies! Basically, it’s delicious and helps you stay cool on the hottest of days.

Every year in late may or early June, I start craving watermelon. My husband is like that with lemonade.

So how can you go through the summer without watermelon … and lemonade? You don’t have to.

Combine the two, and you have the most refreshing drink in town. Both my husband and I agree that this blend is perfectly satisfying for both of our cravings.

Imagine yourself sitting out on the front porch or on the back lawn on a warm summer day.

Whether you’re reading a book or chatting with the neighbor, this drink will cool you off and make the experience even more enjoyable.

But it’s even good when it’s not hot out. If you like watermelon, you’ll love this smoothie.

It’s like a vacation every single time you take a sip.

Seriously, this drink is so good my husband and I both wanted more the first time I made it. Unfortunately, I only got enough watermelon to make one for each of us.

Now, I get enough ingredients for us to have them several days in a row.

It’s also a delicious drink that goes with a meal. Or you can make them for an afternoon pick-me-up.

It’s basically good at any time of day. Another delicious summer drink is this lemonade smoothie.

I’m not a huge fan of blazing hot, humid weather, but these watermelon lemon smoothies make it tolerable. They cool you from the inside out.

Farm-Fresh Watermelon Memories

I have fond memories of eating watermelon from a very early age. A wave of nostalgia washes over me every time I taste it.

My grandfather grew watermelons on his farm, and they were the best I’ve ever had.

I’ll never forget those hot summer days when he and another strong person would carry one of the just-picked watermelons over to the concrete picnic table to cut it.

Everyone would stand and watch in anticipation of biting into the juicy melon.

Even the cows in the nearby pasture stood at the fence, hoping someone would toss them a treat.

It was so delicious and refreshing. Because of this, I look forward to watermelon season, even though I have to put up with the hot weather that comes with it.

We didn’t even think about the health benefits other than the fact that we quenched our thirst with the naturally sweet deliciousness. But there are quite a few benefits.

Benefits of Watermelon

According to Healthline.com, watermelon has a boatload of benefits. First of all, it’s hydrating.

Watermelon also contains lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium. It also contains quite a few other vitamins that keep your body in good form.

So you need to take advantage of watermelon season and eat as much as you can.

Lycopene is good for you on so many levels. It’s promotes healthy arteries by helping to prevent them from getting clogged by plaque.

And in some cases, it helps reduce blood pressure. In other words, lycopene is a heart-healthy nutrient.

Isn’t it nice to know that watermelon is more than just a delicious, juicy fruit? It’s good for you in so many ways!
