Watermelon Juice

-
Watermelons are in nature an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and B6. They are also a great source of potassium, and extremely low in sodium. Watermelons are a great snack for both children and adults, for the reason that they contain practically no fat.

Pictures or artifacts that have survived to the present show that watermelon was grown by the ancient Egyptians. It was founded in 4000 B.C. and is still a universal fruit that continues to be a favorite fruit to many people. By the 1600's, watermelon made it's way to Spain, China, Great Britain, and even farther beyond.



2 c. watermelon chunks
1/2 c. cold water
2 Tbsp. sugar
juice of 1 lime

1. In a blender, combine all the ingredients.
2. Cover and process for 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Strain into chilled glasses; serve immediately.

    @ tammy is it GOOD???!! what??! I love it. I actually grew up in a farm with avocados everywhere and i just munched away. Its creamy and delicious. It depends on what kind you get some are slightly sweeter than others.

    I eat my avocados with meals, however, I have known friends who make sweets out of them because some kinds of avocados lend themselves for that.

    -I have never heard of an avocado being bitter. never.

    Yh its taste especially in the form of the milkshake, btw the honey dew melon should be made as a separate milkshake on its own without the avocado.
