fresh watermelon lemonade

What says summer more than fresh watermelon lemonade? Only 3 ingredients and refined sugar free, this watermelon lemonade is so refreshing!

I’m not sure how many watermelons we’ve already gone through this summer, but I do know it’s A LOT! I buy about one a week. All of the kids love it and so do I. It’s the most refreshing summer fruit, so juicy and sweet. I’ve gotten pretty good at picking just the right watermelon too. Just use your fist to gently knock on the watermelon and if it sounds hallow, you should be good!

If I buy a giant watermelon and we have some leftover, I like to make these strawberry watermelon slushies  or watermelon margaritas. My newest obsession is this fresh watermelon lemonade. It only takes a few ingredients and is so so TASTY! Since watermelon is naturally sweet, I only added a couple tablespoons monk fruit sweeter. You could also use stevia or agave. I don’t like my lemonade overly sweet. I prefer it a little tart.

Here’s to watermelon season and the deliciousness of summer fruit. Enjoy it while you still can!
