Here are a few fun facts about watermelons!
1. Watermelons are actually a fruit AND a vegetable.
2. You can eat the rind and seeds, both of which are very nutritious.
3. It's best to eat watermelon (or any melon) 30 minutes before or after any other food, or else you might get a rumbly tummy.
4. It's rich in anti-inflammatory substances.
5. It's very hydrating, as well as being full of many vitamins such as Vitamins C, B6, A, potassium, magnesium and lycopene.
So here's a fun and refreshing way to use summer's favorite fruit!
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups cubed watermelon
- 1 BPA-free canned coconut milk (I use this kind)
- 1 small lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup organic, pure maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- optional: unsweetened coconut for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place all ingredients in a blender, and pulse until smooth and creamy. (This can take a bit of patience; stop blender and scrape down sides, blend and repeat, until everything is incorporated).
2. Serve now like soft-serve ice cream, or store in a sealed container, to scoop out later.
3. Top portions with shredded coconut, and serve!
4. Enjoy!
(Optional directions: After it's blended, pour into popsicle molds, and freeze for at least 4 hours)
