This is wonderful! Watermelon is high in potassium which helps to relieve water retention. I freeze watermelon chunks spread out on a cookie sheet; let rest on counter just enough to loosen them, then put in bags in the freezer. In the afternoon when I´m busy, my smoothie is quick and refreshing! - 3/15/07

It's good, but I think the ginger was too strong. I think next time, I will use 1/4 or 1/8 tsp ginger. Also, I added about 1/2 cup water for smoother blending, added a banana, and omitted the sugar.I tasted it before adding the banana, & the banana helped cut the ginger flavor a little but not much. - 5/24/13

This is so delicious! I recently discovered yellow watermelon and used that instead of red. I also added a bit of water to help the blending process and about a tablespoon of honey.Photo here: http://dancingspatulawand.blogspot.com/201
