Follow @kalejunkie for more! WATERMELON RIND SMOOTHIE CUBES! 🍉 Do not throw away your watermelon rinds! The rinds are actually a nutritional powerhouse! They are super rich in fiber, high in antioxidants, and they TASTE GOOD—basically a cross between a cucumber and watermelon 🥒🤯! This is also a great way to reduce food waste! Just pop a handful into your morning smoothie and you’ve given your smoothie a flavor and nutritional boost.⁣
⁣
**You should always CLEAN your watermelon before cutting into it! To clean, I use a brush and scrub it with water to remove any debris. And if I have extra time, I will fill the sink with some water, add 1/4 cup white vinegar and scrub with a brush. Rinse and you are good to go. No need to overcomplicate it.⁣
⁣
Add your rinds to a high speed blender, along with a some water (I used about 1/2 cup) and blend. You might need to stop your blender a few times and use the wand to help it along. Blend until creamy. Transfer to an ice cube tray and freeze overnight. ⁣
⁣
Pop them in your smoothies and boom! Genius, right?⁣
