Want Refreshing?

Delicious?

     Insanely Sweet?

          All Natural?

               A soon-to-be family favorite???

So what the heck could that be?

I'll tell you!! Its a favorite of mine on a warm summer day, but since I'm sick and in need of all things healthy and good -- I made one TODAY!

~ Mint Basil Watermelon Juice ~
 
Here are the 5 things you need:
  1. Blender
  2. Fine, mesh strainer/sieve
  3. Watermelon {Duh! Of Course! Chilled & seedless is the best!}
  4. Fresh Mint
  5. Fresh Basil
{Strainer not present}
Now what's to follow, is super challenging.
 
          Ha! NOT!
 
Cut up as much watermelon as you want and shove it into the blender, since its just me, I cut up half the melon {and it still made LOTS!}.
{1/2 my watermelon filled this twice}
Blend on high and do not add anything to this -- just simply blend the watermelon for 10-20 seconds.

Once blended, strain through the sieve. You don't have to do this, but it makes the juice super smooth, clear & bright pink! It doesn't take long at all either.
{If straining slows down, use a spoon to get all the liquid through}
YOU'RE ALMOST DONE!!

The last thing you do is grab a glass, pull off a several basil and mint leaves, drop them into the cup and then pour in your watermelon juice!!
{So simple -- SO DELICIOUS!}
You will NOT regret making this!! :)
{Yum! Wish there was a better pic but uh, I'm sick, so this is the best ya get! :P}
If you have others around, and you make this, they will love you forever!!! Your taste buds and body can thank me later haha
