Watermelon Protein Cooler
IMM
Whether you’re sipping this bad boy poolside or post-workout, this month’s shake will replenish you with a lightly sweet and entirely refreshing dose of protein, antioxidants, and electrolytes. Perfect for a hot summer day! Using coconut water as the base of the shake makes it light and fresh on the palate, really letting the subtlety of watermelon and cucumber shine. A touch of mint and the tang of the lime juice keeps it interesting. On a cheat day, I can imagine adding a splash of rum or tequila to this.
Ingredients
8 ounces coconut water
1 scoop unflavored protein powder
2 cups watermelon, diced
1 small cucumber, peeled
1 lime, juiced
9 to 10 mint leaves, more for garnish
1 dose colloidal trace minerals
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a blender, beginning with the water to avoid sticky protein-powder clumps. Blend until smooth.
Total: 263 calories, 42 g carbs, 22 g protein, 3 g fat, 2 g fiber
