Watermelon is about as refreshing as fruit gets, and with apple and mint it turns into a pink summer cooler. You barely need any extra water.

Very light and juicy, with sweet watermelon, crisp apple and a cool, clean mint finish.
Watermelon consists largely of water, which makes it one of the most thirst-quenching fruits. Its red colour comes from lycopene, the same pigment found in tomatoes. On its own it can taste thin in a smoothie, so an apple adds body and a touch of acidity.
Mint is the classic partner for watermelon, from salads to drinks, and gives the smoothie a cooling finish. Serve it very cold on hot days, by the pool or after sport.
Remove the black seeds, they taste bitter when crushed. The soft white ones are fine.
Watermelon smoothies separate quickly. Stir well or blend again before drinking.
Yes, it contains only fruit, mint and water.
