Ingredients

½ cup water
1 cup watermelon chunks
½ teaspoon cumin powder
¼ teaspoon crushed pepper
2 teaspoon black salt
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
ice cubes as required

Instructions

First, add water and then add watermelon chunks in a blender. You can also add lemon juice.
Then add roasted cumin powder, crushed pepper, black salt, turmeric powder.
Blend it all together till a juice consistency is achieved. No need to strain this juice.
Add ice cubes in serving glass and pour this sugar-free drink in it. Garnish with some mint leaves and sprinkle some black salt on top. Then serve this watermelon smoothie chilled.

Notes

Your juice will only be as good as your watermelon, so find a good one at a farmer’s market or the grocery store. Instead of water, you can also use coconut water. That will make this Indian drink even more hydrating. You can also throw in some mint leaves along with lemon juice while juicing it to give it a more refreshing flavor. You can also make this watermelon smoothie and store it for 1-2 days in the fridge.

Can you freeze watermelon?

Yes, you can but it will be mushy when it's thawed. I have used fresh watermelon but you can also use frozen watermelon to make this drink. Frozen watermelon will be good for eight to 12 months, which is perfect to use when it is no longer the watermelon season. Cut and de-seed the fruit and spread it on a tray. Flash freeze it for a couple of hours. Then transfer it to a storage bag and store it in the freezer.
