Summer Cooler

When it's hot, drink more water. Otherwise, here's another solution: eat fruit that's in season and the more water in the fruit the better! The hotter it gets the more I crave sweeter more watery fruits anyway. I want the ones that dribble down your chin with yummy sticky juices like peaches, watermelon, honeydews, or mangos... mmm.

Here's what I came up with when the heat was just too much to bear, and it hit the spot perfectly:

Watermelon Sensation

a few very generous chunk of watermelon

4 or 5 ice cubes

optional ingredients (not necessarily all at the same time):

1/2 to 1 C of canteloupe

1 tsp grated ginger

or

peppermint leaves

1. Blend everything in a good strong blender (aka. Vitamix).

If not thick and icy enough, add ice.

2. Pour and top with a sprig of mint!

Stay cool!
