Watermelon Fresh
This fresh is a perfect addition to hot summer days or lazy summer evenings with friends. Watermelon is a rich source of amino acid citrulline which converts to arginine in your body. Blueberries provide vitamins C, K, and manganese. A hint of minty notes awakens the senses and quenches the thirst. Try my brother's version with raspberries, or simply mix both. Happy quenching!
