Let's talk about watermelon! Is there anyone out their who *doesn't* love watermelon?? It's the perfect summer fruit, and a great way to get some extra fluids in you on a hot summer day! Watermelons are made up of 90% water, and are a good source of Vitamin C. If that weren't enough, watermelons are actually a better source of the powerful antioxidant lycopene than tomatoes (but still, eat your veggies). This low-carb fruit can put a summer spin on salads, cocktails, mocktails and snacks.
