- 1 Whole Watermelon (to yield 1 cup flesh and 1 cup rind)
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, hulled
- 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon: Cut the watermelon into pieces and separate 1 cup of the red flesh and 1 cup of the white rind, discarding the seeds and green outer skin from the rind.
- Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine the watermelon flesh, watermelon rind, fresh strawberries, honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth.
