Watermelon Basil Splash Juice


Hi everyone! It's one of those blazing hot days here in the sunshine state and I thought: 'what better than to make something refreshing, light, and sweet?' In my fridge I found three wonderful things that suddenly seemed to belong together; watermelons, basil, and strawberries! Not only does this sound refreshing, it tastes it too. I'd like to *someday soon* take a huge mason jar of this recipe to the beach and enjoy it under the summer sun. In the picture above, I have placed bananas along with all of my other ingredients. I was thinking of adding them to the recipe but as I went along tasting and blending, I realized they weren't necessary at all! So, the bananas are now an optional ingredient.

Ingredients:
  1. 2 cups of fresh watermelon 
  2. About 5 leafs of basil 
  3. 3 leafs of swiss rainbow chard (de-stemmed)
  4. 2 cups of spinach 
  5. 6 to 7 strawberries 
  6. 4 pitted dates 
  7. 1/4 a cup of light canned coconut milk 
  8. About a teaspoon of organic coarsely ground flax seed
  9. 8 oz of water 
  10. Ice!

I hope you enjoy this delicious juice as much as I do! Comments and feedback are always more than welcome. Happy Saturday! x
