Ginger and watermelon is a pairing I picked up from a juice bar and copied at home. This watermelon ginger detox smoothie is cold, sweet, and just spicy enough to make you pay attention.

- 3 cups watermelon, cubed and seeded
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup coconut water or regular water
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the watermelon into cubes, peel and grate the ginger, and squeeze the lime juice.

- Taste and Adjust: If desired, add honey or agave syrup for sweetness and blend again.

Grate the ginger fine so it disappears. The foam on top is the best part, so pour gently.
