What’s more cooling than cucumber? Maybe watermelon. Put the two together and you have an incredibly refreshing tonic. Watermelon is my favorite summer fruit, and cucumber is one of my favorite summer vegetables (too many to choose from), so combining the two in this watermelon cucumber beverage is amazing. With a hint of mint and ginger, it’s a blissful way to stay hydrated.
Both watermelon and cucumber are so watery, in fact, that you need not add much if any extra liquid when you blend them. A high-speed blender makes this really smooth but any regular blender will do.
I find this sweet enough using summer’s sugar-sweet watermelon, but if you think it needs a sweetness boost, use a few drops of liquid stevia or your favorite liquid sweetener.
I hope you’ll love love the hydrating synergy between them in this watermelon cucumber beverage as much as I do. For an even more bracing beverage, add a tablespoon or two of organic raw apple cider vinegarWatermelon-Cucumber Cooler

In the U.S., July is National Watermelon Month, unsurprisingly! And that’s also when it’s at its best and cheapest, so eat plenty.
