Summer is coming and we all know that summer brings delicious produce for us to enjoy. One of my personal favorite fruits include watermelon as it is a great snack to enjoy on a hot and sunny day.Watermelons are part of the Cucurbitaceae family which include relatives such as pumpkins, squash and cantaloupe. Now we all know that watermelon is great to the palette, but the health benefits outweigh the taste. Watermelon is packed with antioxidants, and good sources of vitamins A and C. Watermelon has been found in studies that help to reduce the inflammation that contributes to diabetes, colon cancer, asthma and arthritis. This morning I decided to implement this healthy fruit into my diet. I sliced up pieces of a watermelon and juiced it. My kids love the fresh juice that was waiting for them when they woke up! Try these yummy recipes for your little one.
