Watermelon smoothie. Cut into pieces the equivalent of two cups of watermelon and put them in the blender. Add 1/4 cup skim milk and mix for about 15 seconds or until the mixture becomes well blended. Add 2 cups of ice cubes and mix again, 20 seconds or the time needed to get the consistency you want.
