Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Mummy and Watermelon Smoothie

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Here is my 'Mummy' for the theme! It's an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.  My idea is from Pixabay.com.






Watermelon Smoothie

 Back in the summer we got a watermelon that wasn't very sweet and daughter L suggested making a watermelon smoothie with it.  It was delicious! Sharing it for the Dinner Date.


Ingredients:

sprig of mint leaves

1 tbs lemon juice

3 c cubed watermelon

4 cubes  of ice

1/2 c fruit yogurt

1 tbs honey

1/2 c milk

I learned to blend my ice cubes first, my blender has a one minute ice crusher button.  Then I press the smoothie button for another minute after, for a smooth blend of ingredients.

That was a great idea to make a smoothie with the watermelon and add a little sweetener. Sounds delicious.

Great rendition of the mummy. Never would have thought to make a watermelon smoothie. Will have to keep that in mind for the future because you can never count on the sweetness of the watermelon.
