I am quite intrigued by these frosted watermelon cakes that I have been seeing on Pinterest. I may try to make one sometime this summer, but for now I’m hooked on watermelon with cinnamon sprinkled over it! It’s DELICIOUS!

Watermelon Rind Juice:

Watermelon rinds contain high levels of antioxidants, as well as the amino acid citrulline which is known to improve blood flow. So if you have a juicer, save your rinds and make some watermelon rind juice!

Watermelon Smoothie
Ingredients:

2 cups watermelon – Chunked
1 cup Frozen Strawberries
1 Banana*

*Note: For the first time, the banana may not be necessary, but I put it in to be safe.

Optional Ingredients:

* Adding the optional ingredients will change the flavour of the smoothie, more so with this smoothie, than others.

1/3 English cucumber – Seeds removed
4 Sticks Celery
2 cups Fresh Spinach
4 tbs Hemp Protein Powder

Directions:

Add all ingredients to your blender, and blend until smooth.

Cutting Your Watermelon For Smoothies:

Cut the watermelon into quarters
Make slices 1 inch apart down the length, and the width of the watermelon to make 1 inch cubes.
Make sure you are cutting all the way to the rind
Use a spoon to scoop the watermelon cubes directly into your blender
