Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗
My great #HIVEFOOD community I'm pleased to be sharing with you the watermelon smoothie or juice I made this evening for me and my family. It was quite a hot day and I decided to give my family a good treat with a cup of smoothie. The choice of watermelon is due to the fact that it is composed of about 95% of water. So, it is perfect for staying hydrated in an healthy way.
I went to a mini fruit market where I got a ball of watermelon for NGN2500($1.56). I specifically requested for one that is ripe and red inside - the seller assured me that it was ripe and I should not be bothered. I had to quiz him well to be sure I'm not getting an unripe ball because I have fallen for the gimmicks of some of these fruit sellers who would sweet talk you into getting an unripe fruit just because they want to sell their goods. There are other fruits such as pineapple, mangoes, apples and so on in his shop too.
In order to make this smoothie I will be making use of both my blender and juice extractor. I decided to make use of the two because the last time I used only my juice extractor it moved a handful of my fruits to the trash, that is, the segment of the extractor where shafts and seeds move to. As a result of this, I have decided to use the blender to crush it into a smooth mixture first before pouring it into the mixer to extract only the juice. At the end it was the best decision.
INGREDIENTS
- Watermelon
- Water
- Blender
- Juice extractor
Step by Step
Wash your watermelon and keep in the refrigerator to get chilled.
When it is chilled, cut the watermelon open and chop into small sizes and add to the blender.
Blend the watermelon until it is smooth.
Next, you'd use your juice extractor to extract the juice and seperate the seeds/shafts.
Gently pour the blended watermelon slowly into the juicer and it will seperate the juice for you.
Pour the extracted juice inside a jug and serve immediately.
Serve in a glass and garnish the edge of the cup with some cucumber slice.
Wash your cucumber thoroughly and slice into thin slices. Then take a slice of the cucumber and make a small slit from one of the edge to the center.
The purpose of the slit is for your cucumber to sit properly on the edge of the cup.
