Watermelon season is at it's peak! From now through September, you can get some juicy, delicious Watermelon.

I've got two awesome Watermelon Recipes for you to try. 

One Recipe requires a food processor. The other doesnot. I had to borrow a food processor from a neighbor. If you don't have one, borrow one from a friend or neighbor.

Let's make some Watermelon Sorbet!

Watermelon Sorbet

Ingredients

  • 2cups watermelon Cubed
  • 1/2 Lime 

Directions:

  1. Cut the watermelon into small chunks.
  2. Place chunks into separate plastic bags for portion control. About 2 Cups of Watermelon per bag.
  3. Place the plastic bags in the freezer overnight. After several hours in the freezer, this will work, but if the watermelon isn't completely frozen, the sorbet will be more slushy or watery… rather than a solid sorbet. 
  4. Take out one bag of frozen watermelon.                           Place your chunks of frozen watermelon into a food processor, and add some lime juice. I used 2-3 cups of watermelon with half a lime, Don't add too much lime juice in the beginning or it will fly out of the friggin food processor. I know…..I have experience!
  5. Continue to process the watermelon and lime juice in the food processor until you get a sorbet-like texture. 
  6. If you want a sweeter sorbet, add in a little raw, unfiltered honey.  

    Eat and Enjoy your Watermelon Sorbet!

Nutritional Information

 

Watermelons are about 92 percent water….which makes them awesome to have in the hot summer to avoid dehydration. Watermelon is FILLED with nutrients. Each juicy bite has significant levels of vitamins A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and lots of lycopene. Remember….I told you on previous episodes….that Lycopene is what gives fruits and vegetables their “RED” color.  People eat foods containing lycopene for preventing heart disease, like  "hardening of the arteries" the medical term is  (atherosclerosis);  Lycopene helps battle cancer by acting like a powerful Anti-oxidant. That makes Watermelon part of our Pac Man Family….Eat Watermelon and other “Red” colored fruits & veggies to help your Immune system fight  prostate cancer, breast cancer, and cancer of the lungs, bladder, ovaries, colon, and the pancreas. Anti-Oxidants rule in your body Nation!

 Lycopene is also used for treating the human papi lloma virus (HPV) which is a major cause of uterine cancer. 

You should divide This salad into 4 Servings as a snack or…..divide it into 2 servings if this is a meal.
