Summer slurp: Weight loss and glow boosting watermelon smoothie

We always hold a special place in our hearts for this cool summer delight. Whether it's aiding in weight loss or acting as a relaxing companion at events with cool watermelon slushes and mojitos. This wonderful fruit is a crowd-pleaser. Nevertheless, do you know watermelons deserve much more honour?

Watermelon is one of the healthiest fruits to eat if you're attempting to lose weight because it contains 90% water by weight. Just 30 calories are included in a serving of 100 grams. Moreover, arginine, an amino acid that helps burn fat quickly, is abundantly present in watermelons. A watermelon snack will stave off hunger pangs in between meals and keep you hydrated.

Not only this, vitamin A and C, two vitamins found in watermelon, are crucial for healthy skin and hair. Collagen is a protein that keeps your skin soft and your hair strong, and vitamin C helps your body create it. As vitamin A aids in skin cell growth and repair, it is also crucial for healthy skin. Thus, if you don't get enough vitamin A, your skin may get wrinkles and age quickly. Beta-carotene and lycopene present in watermelons aid in preventing sunburn on your skin.

To indulge in this summer delight, here’s a recipe of watermelon smoothie that you can enjoy throughout this summer and reap the benefits:

Take a cup of cubed watermelon, half cup of coconut water, a bunch of mint leaves, and black salt. Add these ingredients to a blender to create this hydrating and fresh drink. Blend and pulse the ingredients until they are well-combined and smooth. As soon as it is prepared, serve it with ice cubes if desired.

Summertime is the ideal time to enjoy this watermelon shake. It hydrates you, quenches your thirst, and satisfies your hunger. Quick weight loss and gorgeous skin are benefits. Also, there are other similar summer drink recipes that can be easily made with watermelon as their hero ingredient.
