Clean Eating Watermelon Lemonade Recipe
This clean eating watermelon lemonade is the perfect, refreshing drink for hot summer days!
Summer is only a few weeks old right now, and we’ve already seen triple digit heat in my area of the San Francisco bay. It’s not pleasant, but it does have one great thing to offer. Summer produce!
When it gets sweltering hot out, I start to turn to foods that are lighter and fresher. Foods like watermelon that help keep me hydrated. This was a last minute inspiration after cutting into a watermelon I had no hope of eating before it went bad. Love it when that happens!!
ABOUT THE RECIPE:
- I used a Vitamix blender. If you have a lower powered blender, you may have to strain some of the residual chunks out of the drink before pouring it into your glass.
- The cilantro is optional. However, if you enjoy cilantro, try crushing up a spring with your fingers, shoving it down into the glass and then pouring your drink. You only need one sprig. Delish!
- If you multiply the recipe for more people, make sure you blend in batches.
RECIPE TIPS:
- Chop the watermelon small for more accurate measuring and measure directly into the blender.
- Add the lemon juice and sweetener. I used stevia, but use whatever sweetener you’re comfortable with, a little at a time to taste.
