Watermelon - the thirst quencher !

Watermelon is not just a sweet fruit for those hot summer days but a delicious piece of heaven that contains vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C and lycopene.  My favorite way of consuming a watermelon is to throw a few cold slices in the blender and blend till I get a beautiful sea of watermelon juice.  It's the most refreshing drink ( apart from water) that you will ever have! So if you need to quench your thirst on a hot day, need a little energy boost after the gym or "just because"...blend some watermelon slices, grab a straw and refresh!

Sweet Cherries

Once again, I just realized that I got duped into hating a fruit by the canned variety!  Or maybe I was just confusing the taste with fresh cranberries?  After much "pressure", I decided to try ONE freshly washed, sweet cherry and to my surprise....I loved it!  Cherries are my new favorite fruit and again, I do not know why I did not like them...I blame the can!

This red, juicy, stone fruit is not only delicious but low in calories, high in antioxidants,anticarcinogenic properties, vitamin B17 and boron ( linked to increased bone health). 
So next time you feel like eating something sweet, don't reach for that candy or the "health bar" ...reach for some sweet cherries!
