Refreshing Watermelon Juice

As the weather heats up dehydration is an even bigger concern.

So often I hear folks tell me that they just cannot drink “that much water” to keep up with their needs.

ENTER WATERMELON!!

I found myself enjoying this wonderful treat more and more so I decided to experiment and crate some refreshing raw food recipes.

Since I am enjoying my NutriBullet more each day, it became so easy.

It is interesting how seasonal foods provide us with exactly what we need for that time.

Watermelon offers significant amounts of vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, fiber, protein, and a very large amount of potassium. Furthermore, they contain vitamin A, vitamin B6, niacin, thiamin , and a wide variety of carotenoids and phytonutrients, including lycopene!

Mint has one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any food. Learning how to use fresh herbs and spices like mint when cooking can also help to cut down on sodium intake.

I often use mint instead of things like agave or stevia and put it in my green juice and smoothies for a wonderful lift.

Refreshing Watermelon Juice

Ingredients

2 cups watermelon chunks
1 cup Alkaline or spring water
Bunch of mint
Cinnamon to taste
Small piece of fresh ginger

Instructions

Place all ingredients into NutriBullet or blender
Blend until you are happy with juice. Adjust water as necessary.
Store in a glass jar and refrigerate.
Enjoy!

Notes

Since I always have my NutriBullet on the counter I go to that first if the recipe is small enough. Truthfully, any blender works great.This is the type of recipe you can sneak in thinks like kelp, dulce and turmeric. SSHHHH keep that between us.

Hi Elaine:

I like your alkaline concept to prevent or try to cure cancer, but I had heard that watermelon is very high in fructose, therefore, have avoided it all together. Since cancer feeds on sugar, isn’t watermelon one fruit to avoid or use very little of? Also, isn’t seedless watermelon a form of genetically modified since they have found a way to take the seeds out of it? I’d love to hear your feedback.

Thank you,
Virginia

I had the privilege of presenting as a keynote speaker at Elaine’s inaugural Renewed Living workshop/luncheon, and I stayed for the entire event. Her event execution was superb. Elaine’s passion for health & wellness, and her willingness to share her own health journey for the benefit of others, contributed to an authentic, educational, and highly engaging experience. In addition, I followed up with Elaine after her event with specific questions, and she quickly responded. Elaine’s focus fills a void in a crowded event planning market. Her information was relevant, useful, and actionable. I look forward to investing my valuable time to attend her future events.

THANK YOU so much for the advice and information on green juicing which I am absolutely addicted to. Your raw food tips, coupled with simple steps to better health have helped me lose 78 pounds! Yes weight loss, although not the focus as you say-getting healthy is-was a direct by-product. I have not felt better in years. My 2 yr old thanks you, her daddy will be around to see her milestones in life. Thank you Elaine and the folks at Renewed Living!

I met Elaine a couple of years ago at a Yoga class…my life has changed since then. She is an awesome person and so willing to share all her knowledge. I was starting to juice at that time but Elaine provided so much more information. She also introduced us to the needs of Alkaline water and the general needs of keeping our bodies alkaline. She is a good friend and we are blessed to have met her!
