Tasty and healthy food doesn't get any easier than this. Simply add the flesh and seeds of watermelon to a blender and whizz for 30 seconds for a cool and refreshing smoothie.

And if someone starts screaming that the carbohydrates in watermelon are fast-releasing (have a high GI) - then please note that it doesn't matter as there are So Few Carbohydrates in watermelon.

Watermelon flech is rich in vitamin A, C and B6 as well as the antioxidant lycopene and the seeds are like all seeds rich in both vitamins and minerals.

I love it!
