throw a scoop of protein powder in that and it would be great after a work out! I love just tossing whatever fruit I have on hand in my smoothies. I also use green tea as a base instead of water. Winter is going to suck when all these great summer fruits are out of season. Apple smoothie? hmmm How does citrus work in smoothies? :huh:

Sounds very refreshing : )....as a suggestion you could also blend the watermelon in a blender then pour into ice cube trays and freeze. This will make it nice and slushy without watering it down with ice......Thanks!0

Sounds delicious!
One of my all-time favourite snacks is a big bowl of half-frozen watermelon cubes (chilled in the freezer for about 45 minutes), served with a big splash of fresh lime juice, the zest of 1/2 a lime, and some finely chopped mint. Summer in a bowl!0 -

This sounds yum! I wasted half a watermelon last week too as it was massive and I didn't get to eat it all in time! Could have made a big batch of this smoothie with it! Grrr!
I have also just discovered frozen melon with my frozen grapes - mmmmmmmm wish I had some now!

No way!!! I don't know how you could! :laugh:
Watermelon is my absolute favourite fruit for sure, but it's SO expensive these days...like £4 for a dinky little melon...we've only had a few recently as a treat.
I love the sound of all these ideas, but it's too special to blitz up for me...best just devoured in an ice cold slab! Mmmm! :happy:0 -
