The Wh0le Story

Eat Good Stuff. Do Good Things. Feel good feels.

4-Ingredient Watermelon Mango Refresher

Leave a comment

As the weather heats up, I have been craving nothing but fresh fruit in every form. Smoothies, thrown in my salads, on top of overnight oats, drinks and juices, you name it. Specifically, I can’t get enough melon and mango. They have totally stolen my heart…or belly I suppose is more accurate.

Throw in some mint and a little citrus and you have a delicious summer drink perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day. If you’re feel extra saucy, feel free to add some tequila or vodka if that’s you’re thing. I bet it’d be pretty delicious.

Watermelon Mango Refresher

2 cups chilled watermelon

1 cup frozen mango

1/4 cup lime juice

3-4 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped

1 cup ice cubes

Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

*Note: If you have the time, make this a day ahead of serving. Blend together and throw it in the fridge or freezer overnight. If you choose to freeze it, run it through the blender one more time before serving to break up the ice. This drink taste so much better once the ingredients have some time to meld together – the mint especially comes out the longer it sits!

Hi all. I'm Vanessa. I am currently residing in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my boyfriend and my super mutt pup, but my heart will always belong to the Great Midwest. I started this blog as a way to share my passions with like-minded people. Food and nutrition, fitness, fashion, art and animal welfare are just a few of my favorite things. I love to cook and am always looking for a way to make my meals as inspiring as possible. I'd love to share some recipes, some anecdotes and maybe even some pretty things in the way of fashion and design. I know it seems a little scatter-brained, but I hope you enjoy my notes and ramblings. The Wh0le Story comes from a desire to start living the life I want, full of more good stuff. It's that simple.
