Watermelon Splash Smoothie

9-10 cups of cut up watermelon (seedless)

⅓ cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice

¼ cup of fresh squeezed lime juice

About 2 cups of strawberries (frozen, add more to create  a thicker smoothie)

Optional: A pinch of mint or ½ cup of frozen mango,handful of spinach to make it a”greenie” or splash of vodka.

If this doesn’t make you feel like you are drinking an entire glass of summer then I don’t know what will. While this drink is perfect for patio weather, don’t forget: moderation is key.
