DAY 63 // Watermelon Anyone?

Alright so I haven't done a food post in awhile and since watermelon season is clearly upon us here in Australia (thanks to the hard working hands of Cam and Steph..) I decided to research some creative ways to eat the damn thangs!  (Sorry Canadian readers..this may not be as helpful to you as us aussies..BUT if you like an idea, keep em in your memory bank for next year when watermelon season rolls around again for your guys ..suckaaas)

Watermelon is delicious, most can agree with that. It's sweet, watery, crisp and the perfect refreshing summer's snack. It is also cheap! (if in season) and super good for you. According to National Geographic's article: five reasons to eat watermelon, a 10 ounce wedge of watermelon contains one-third of the recommended daily value of Vitamins A & C. As well as helps in aiding sore muscles, maintaining a healthy heart, is a natural viagra? ..and could even combat cancer. I'd say it a super melon.

SO, Here are 5 creative (and simple) ways to reap the benefits of this super melon in ways you may expect!
