You might think the cayenne is a weird addition but I promise you it’s the perfect ingredient to be in this smoothie. If you like, you can also add just a pinch of himalayan salt but that I will leave up to you.
Ingredients:
- 3 Cups of Watermelon
- 1 Cup Green Grapes
- 1-2 limes, peeled & deseeded
- pinch of cayenne
- 1/4 cup water (or sub for raw coconut water)
Instructions: Blend all ingredients together, you can leave the watermelon seeds in. I like to scoop out about 3 cups of melon, add in the grapes and other ingredients and blend together first before adding water that way I can achieve my desired consistency. This drink tastes very good when it’s thinned out.
