WATERMELON JUICE

Greetings and WOW am I ever stoked.  Been on fruit for three days now.  today is watermelon day and I have a great big one to juice and one to eat. 
Summer is a great time to take the stress out of food preparation and just eat fruit.  There are several reasons:
~ It tastes good
~ It's refreshing
~ you body loves the water content
~ your skin loves the enzymes
~ your digestive system appreciates the break from more dense foods
and I could go on and on.

For this recipe no juicer is needed (per se) since watermelon is such a juicy and water filled fruit all you need is a blender.

cut your melon up into chunks and place in the blender
blend on low to high to ensure the seeds are emulsified
using a tight strainer or nut bag (I use a knee high stocking for this stuff) pour the juice thru the strainer into a bowl or pitcher
Chill if you like and garnish with a sprig of mint or lemon balm

* I enjoy a peeled lime added into my watermelon juice as it adds a refreshing tingle.

Enjoy the summer and look for the citrus three recipe next week.

I am Chef Vee an I am RAWsome.
