Refresh after a day in the heat with a super easy, nutritious, and delicious ice-cold watermelon mint drink.

Summer greetings, everyone! The heat is definitely on, and after a long afternoon spent mowing the lawn and weeding the garden, I’m ready for something cool and refreshing to drink. Because I’m quite health-conscious, soda and sugary drinks just don’t strike my fancy. So, what does this gal reach for instead? My favorite cold watermelon drink, which I whip up in my blender in less than 2 minutes. It’s lip-smacking good, gorgeously pink, super nutritious, and amazingly filling (even though it’s extremely low in calories).

Watermelon is a thirst-quenching fruit loaded with natural sugars; carotenoids, such as lycopene and beta carotene; and potassium. If you happen to retain water, watermelon should be your go-to fruit, as it has natural diuretic properties that dramatically reduce that waterlogged feeling. Wonderful for those of you with high blood pressure, too, due to the high potassium content. The recipe below is easy to make. All you need is an average kitchen blender. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Watermelon Mint Drink Recipe (aka Virgin Pink Mojito)

Watermelon juice, naturally high in pick-me-up sugars, is the perfect choice to refresh, refuel, and rehydrate following a hard, sweaty workout or an afternoon spent mowing the lawn. This sensational, celebration-in-pink juice blend is also an excellent beverage to serve for alcohol-free summer entertaining. Sweet-tart and cooling to the palate, it looks especially enticing served in pre-chilled fancy glassware garnished with sprigs of fresh mint. For a festive option, add party appeal with colorful straws and tiny decorative umbrellas. Here’s to summer!
Yield: 2 generous servings.
