     Watermelon Mint Smoothie

     Watermelon is a totally good-for-you food: The sweet, juicy pink melon is high in cancer-fighting lycopene and vitamins, but has zero fat or cholesterol.

    This refreshing smoothie could earn a well-deserved place in your regular diet, it’s so luscious–and it’s good for you, too. Watermelon Mint Smoothie makes a great breakfast, or a super pick-me-up snack anytime.

     

This one because of the softness and moister of the melon it's best to make these smoothies different.

1. Cut melon in half, scoop out seeds, peel, and cut into 1-inch cubes. Wash grapes well and remove stems. Freeze melon and grapes for one hour.

 

 

 

2. Combine frozen melon and grapes with lime juice and honey in a blender. Puree until smooth, adding water as needed.  Serve immediately.

 

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 to 2 cups seedless watermelon chunks
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, or to taste
  • 200 mls Tropical yogurt
  • Dash cinnamon
  • 2 Scoops of Tropical Formula 1
  • 1 or 2 Scoops of Protein Powder

    1. Freeze watermelon chunks before placing all ingredients in blender, top with mint leaves.

 

Great Tip Ideas

 

You can also whip up a smoothie batch, then pour it into plastic molds, ice cube trays, or paper cups and freeze. Then snack on those whenever you crave something sweet, or need snack to go.

If bananas have ripened before you had a chance to use then, just peel 'em and toss 'em into a plastic bag and store in the freezer. Do the same whenever you have too many fresh Strawberries (or other fruit) on hand. Sometimes I pre-package just the right amount of Banana pieces and Strawberries in individual freezer bags. Then, I just grab a bag whenever I'm in the mood for a smoothie!
