Goodmorning steemit! Ready for the new week? I sure am after this lovely green drink! It was just the thing I needed on a hot tropical morning as this. Refreshing and packed with so many good-for-you nutrients and probiotics.
Think I feel ready for the new week. If all goes according to plan - which is not always easy in Cambodia, so many things that can go wrong here - we start selling our first bread from the bakery in a few days! Exciting. Once that is going smoothly we will start to concentrate on the coffee shop and health cafe. Witch will be more my territory!
But let's talk smoothie now!
HYDRATING ACAI WATERMELON AVOCADO MORNING DRINK 🍉🌱🥑
Watermelon is a low-calorie, hydrating fruit that is naturally high in antioxidants that fight free radical damage and inflammation. Furthermore, watermelon is a great source of vitamins and minerals - such as vitamin A and C - that can help prevent a number of serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis and many others.
Watermelon thanks many of it health benefits and beautiful red hue to the antioxidant lycopene, a certain type of carotenoid that is currently of great interest to researchers.
