This Hydrating Watermelon Smoothie is Super Easy to Make 

Nothing says summer like watermelon. It’s sweet, refreshing, and packed with the amino acid known as citrulline. Researchers have linked this naturally occurring amino acid to reduced muscle soreness, which makes watermelon the perfect pre- or post-workout snack. And while it’s delicious as cubes or slices, this super easy watermelon smoothie just takes it to the next level. Here’s the recipe: 

Ingredients: 

1 whole mini seedless watermelon, cubed

1-inch piece of ginger peeled and finely chopped

1 TBSP lime juice 

Water, as needed 

How to Prepare: 

When we say this recipe is super simple, we mean it’s super simple.

You can also add in your favorite supplement powders, like pre-workout or glutamine, to take this smoothie to the next level.  

Once the mixture reaches a consistency you’re satisfied with, it’s ready to serve. Pour into a glass, and enjoy!
