This one is not only for adults but also the kids! Rich in vitamin C, antibacterials, and anti-inflammatory lycopene this will be a guilt-free sip! In case you need another excuse to add another watermelon to your cart on your next grocery run, this is it! If you’re in the mood for a detox after the heavy foods, add jalapeno.
