Watermelon Tomato Detox Smoothie

While watermelons are low in most vitamins and minerals, they are a good source of vitamin C and beta-carotene (which your body synthesizes into vitamin A). Watermelons with red flesh have more lycopene than tomatoes, a nutrient believed to protect against prostate cancer.

Ingredients

  • Watermelon

  • Either a few small sweet tomatoes or one small tomato

  • Green Tea (chilled)

  • Beets

Instructions

  1. Blend!

Watermelons contain two interesting nutrients which are found especially abundantly in the edible rind, citrulline and arginine.

Citrulline has been shown to boost heart health, the immune system and help with weight loss and type 2 diabetes.

Arginine boosts nitric oxide in the body which helps relax blood vessels and can treat and prevent erectile dysfunction.

Arginine also removes toxins from the body.
