How to Make a Quick Watermelon Drink

When watermelons are in abundance at the gardens and stores, and the prices are low, it is a good time to take advantage and buy the whole watermelon or even two. A large watermelon looks like it will be difficult to eat it all before it goes bad but here is an easy way to use it up quickly. This recipe is so easy it almost seems silly to write an eHow article about it but I am enjoying this watermelon drink so much that I wanted to share this quick easy and healthy recipe as a reminder that it is time to get a watermelon now.

Things You'll Need:

• Watermelon
• blender
  
• food processor
  
• knife
• drinking glass
  
• thirsty people
• ice cream scoop

1. Step 1

   Cut watermelon in half. A seedless watermelon is the easiest and best but if you get a watermelon with seeds you will just need to remove the seeds before blending.

2. Step 2

   Scoop out spoons full and remove seeds if there are any. An ice cream scoop works good for this. Place the scoops in a blender or food processor until it is about 1/2 full. If the watermelon isn't cold you can add two ice cubes to the blender with the melon.

3. Step 3

   Puree the watermelon until it is all liquid. You might have to stop and start the blender to jog loose any pieces to fall into the blade if they are floating on the top.

4. Step 4

   Pour puree into a glass and drink it up. If there are still any large pieces in the glass get them out with a fork and eat them.

5. Step 5

   This watermelon drink is especially refreshing on a hot day and after working out in the yard and garden. Drink a pure watermelon drink and know that it is healthy, naturally sweet and there are extra no additives.
