Thai Lemongrass Watermelon Slush
Hi everyone! How's your summer so far?
Today I have a recipe that will be perfect for your hot summer day, and I call it Thai Lemongrass Watermelon Slush.
When it comes to the summer in the U.S., we see watermelon in every local grocery store at a very cheap price. Watermelon is such a perfect fruit for a hot summer especially for us who are living in Texas; it is known as a super fruit for hydration. 92% of watermelon is fluid. No wonder why it's called watermelon.
Watermelon is known as a weight loss fruit. When you are trying to control or cut down the calories intake, you don't want to lose vitamins and minerals. Watermelon is loaded with vitamins and minerals especially potassium. The high water content helps you fill up without eating too many calories.
It's handy to have watermelon for a picnic, outdoor and bar-b-q party, or family little hike. Try watermelon in this new way to bring some life to your party.
