This recipe should taste like iced watermelon with a hint of lemon. It is perfect for the summer time and is also a great way to help use up any left over watermelon slices you may have. Our watermelon smoothie recipe is an excellent source of lycopene, shown to be the most potent of all the antioxidants and proven to help protect against prostate and other forms of cancer.

Makes two 16 oz glasses.

Add contents to blender jar in the following order:

• 2 cups soy milk (or dairy milk)
• full scoop of vanilla protein powder (1/8 cup)
• 2 cups of watermelon (with or without seeds)
• 1/2 an average sized lemon with skin
• 1 cut up banana
• 4 cubes of ice

Blend until perfect consistency is achieved. You may also substitute an apple for the banana if you are looking for something a bit more taste neutral to help preserve the full flavor of the watermelon. Either choice will taste great.
