PP Watermelon Refresher
Chef: Timaree Hagenburger, The Nutrition Professor
Makes: 2 Servings
Prep Time: 5 min
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 c watermelon (with white rind)
3/4 c cucumber
2-4 T fresh mint
1 lime, zest and juice
Ice cubes, based on taste preference
2 t chia seeds (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients in blender, adding as little or as much ice as desired. Enjoy every sip!
TIPS
Be sure to use the white part of the rind, too! It is packed with plant-based goodness!
Be sure to zest citrus fruits BEFORE cutting them into pieces to squeeze the juice. A microplane is my favorite zesting tool, and we want the zest, as it may prevent skin cancer
