Summer Treat

There’s nothing like the taste of sweet, juicy watermelon on a hot summer day. But watermelon offers more than just a sweet treat. It’s packed with nutrients like Vitamin A and Vitamin C. And because 92% of watermelon is water, munching this melon helps you beat the heat by staying hydrated.

Try making watermelon lemonade this summer!

• Ask an adult to help you blend up four cups of chopped seedless watermelon in a blender.
• Strain the mixture to separate the juice from the pulp.
• In a pitcher, mix the watermelon juice with 3/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar.
• Add water, ice, or even a sprig of fresh mint.
