Some Great Tasting Healthy Homemade Drinks

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

When people first hear words like health and diet put together, they immediately assume the worst. First they think that the food are bland, tasteless and can be compared to cardboard. However, this is simply not the case as there are a lot of health foods and drinks out there that could be bought or made at home. The things that are needed are simply great fruits and vegetables as well as a blender and lots of ice.

Fruit Punch

Watermelon is a great base for a fruit drink and making fruit punch with watermelon not only makes great drinking, but is an excellent source fluid for hydration on a really hot and sweaty day and it is also filled with vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Simply cut some sections of watermelon and cube into one inch cuts, make enough to fill half a pitcher. Then, if you can get some young coconut meat and juice just put it in together with the watermelon in the pitcher. Next, mix with some heart of coconut that had been cubed very finely (if there are none available, don’t fret). Drop in cubes of melons and melon dew in the pitcher with the rest of the fruits and last but not least, add a glass of instant orange juice. No need for sweeteners here. Finally, add water to the combination, enough to fill a pitcher. Place in the refrigerator to cool, if you can’t wait, just pour it over some crushed or cubed ice. Drink and munch to your heart’s content. (more…)
