This is a quintessential summer smoothie that you will want to try. Melons are in abundance during the summer months and they are high in water content. This Refreshing Melon Smoothie radiates a variety of nutrients – Vitamins A and C, Potassium and the Watermelon, specifically has one of the highest levels of the antioxidant called lycopene (more than tomato, according to the USDA), which is heart healthy. What’s more, this smoothie is low in calories – the recipe makes approximately 24 ounces and has a total of just under 300 calories (12 ounces is under 150 calories).
I encourage you to try this delicious quenching smoothie that will also keep you full. I welcome your feedback, comments, and questions.
