Here’s a refreshing healthful smoothie that’s also low in calories. Perfect for relaxing on a hot summer day or for recuperating after a serious workout. Watermelon is a great source of vitamins C and A, and the little bit of yogurt adds calcium and protein.
How to make this smoothie:
Ingredients:
2 cups watermelon chunks (either use seedless watermelon or remove the seeds).
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh mint
1/3 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
3 to 4 ice cubes
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Makes one smoothie. If this recipe isn’t sweet enough, you can add honey, which will add a few calories, or go with a zero-calorie sweetener like stevia.
