WATER MELON JUICE

During summer, water melon is available plenty.  Since it contains more water, consumption of this fruit will help in hydrating the body.  While the fruits are to be eaten fresh, sometimes, you can enjoy the juice also.

This recipe is lying in my folder for the past two years and yesterday only I realised that I have not posted this simple and healthy summer cooler.


A watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 91% water.  As with many other fruits, it is a good source of Vitamin C and is low in fat and  sodium.  The amino-acid  citrulline  is produced in watermelon rind.  Watermelon pulp contains carotenoids, including lycopene.Watermelon rinds are also edible, but most people avoid eating them due to their unappealing flavor.





Let us look at the recipe now:

Preparation time: 15 minutes
serves: 2


Ingredients:

2 cups water melon cubes (half of a water melon)
3-4 ice cubes
chaat masala, cumin powder, black pepper powder, salt (optional) or as per requirement.

Method:

Put the water melon cubes in the juicer and extract the juice.  add the masalas if you wish or as it is can be served with ice cubes.
