Jed’s Deliciously Easy Watermelon Smoothie
May 16, 2008Summer is upon us, and along with it comes one of its greatest joys: the delicious, juicy watermelon! You probably don’t need me to tell you that watermelon has great cooling properties, is hydrating and is low in calories. What you might not already know is that watermelon also has amazing cleansing and detoxifying effects.
I recommend organic watermelon with seeds intact, the way nature made them. Seedless fruits are hybridized by man to make them sterile and often are also sprayed with chemicals. Sterile fruit has a lower vibration than naturally grown fruit. By eating more fertile foods, you will absorb that energy to be more fertile and magnetic yourself!
My love of smoothies is no secret, and watermelon is one of my favorite seasonal ingredients. This AMAZING smoothie makes me love watermelon even more. It tastes great and is so filling and satisfying that sometimes it even replaces a meal for me (when I’m too tired or lazy to make a salad). You can’t get any more simple than this recipe:
- 3 cups watermelon
- 2.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
Prep: Cut the watermelon into small chunks. Freeze the chunks overnight in a Tupperware container.
Simply blend the frozen watermelon and the almond milk. That’s it!!! Try it for yourself and see the magical summer treat that is created from such a simple recipe.
Let me know how you do.
Kim, I love your blog and the partner yoga video! So beautiful to see…I can’t wait to be in a class with you again. I was wondering, do you have a raw pizza recipe or a recipe that creates a “pizza-like” food? I have a thing for pizza, but I want to cut out the cheese-filled, greesy component (b/c I usually feel weighed down by it afterward). Om Shanti, thanks for all you give.
