I don’t know about where you live, but watermelons have been on sale here lately.  We have already been through three four and I have two one more on our kitchen counter!    We just love watermelon in our house!

It is so disappointing when you slice into one to discover that it’s not quite as sweet as you were expecting.   Well, let me introduce you to one of the most refreshing summer drinks and what Blane thinks is the best way to enjoy watermelon:   fresh watermelon juice!  It is sweeter than eating the watermelon alone and it truly is refreshing.

Here’s what you need to do to enjoy your own fresh watermelon juice:  If you have a juicer, slice it into large chunks and run it through the juicer.  Stick it into the fridge to chill a few hours and enjoy!  Easy, eh?

What about the leftover pulp?  Freeze it ice cube trays to use in smoothies or a tasty treat on a hot summer afternoon!  The pulp has just as much flavor as the juice.  I haven’t tried it yet, but I bet it would make fantastic popsicles!

I don’t know about you, but I love mochas.  I know I told you about this already in one of my other posts, but I thought I should let you in on my recipe!  Not only is it yummy, but it is nutritious and much more frugal than going to Starbucks to buy one.  All of these things make it better than a Starbucks mocha to me.  You can still enjoy gourmet coffee but at a fraction of the cost.

Get ready.  This will be a big mocha. You would easily pay at least $4.00 for this at Starbucks!

First, brew a strong cup of coffee.

Next, fill a regular-sized coffee mug with milk.  Pour it into a saucepan and heat.  While it’s heating, add two tablespoons of cocoa powder, honey to taste, and a drop of vanilla extract.  Whisk until it’s well blended and hot.

Now, find a large mug or travel mug and pour in your hot chocolate milk first, followed by the coffee.  Add honey to taste if needed.

Voila!  To make it extra tasty, you can whip up some homemade whipped cream to top it with.

Mmm…I think I might need to go make one now.

Note: I recommend using organic coffee decaffeinated using the Swiss water process.  I would also recommend using raw milk and raw honey.  Organic vanilla and organic cocoa powder would be preferable as well.
