Watermelon smoothie

Watermelon smoothie is the perfect drink for hot days. Watermelon contains a lot of water. That is why it quenches thirst well in the summer heat. The presence of fiber is useful for the normal functioning of the intestines and helps to eliminate toxins.

It affects the functioning of the kidneys due to the ability to maintain hydration.

Water and other phytonutrients contained in the pulp of the fruit support muscle regeneration after increased physical exertion.

Antioxidant compounds such as lycopene protect cells from free radical damage.

However, you need to know that 6 percent is sugar. Therefore, you need to be careful in using watermelon smoothies for those who limit the sugar content in their diet.

It is not necessary to strictly observe the proportions. The drink’s taste can be adjusted to your taste and add new ingredients.
