Introduction
Summer means hot days, and the best way to beat the heat is by staying hydrated. Watermelon is a juicy fruit that is perfect for summers. It has a high concentration of water, which makes it an excellent hydrating food. It also has a refreshing taste that we all love and cherish. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for a Watermelon Mint Cooler that will keep you cool and hydrated all summer long!
Ingredients
- 4 cups of watermelon cubes, seeded and chilled
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 cup coconut water, chilled
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions

- Add the coconut water and ice cubes to the blender, and blend again until smooth.

Tips
- Use seedless watermelon to save time on removing the seeds.
