Watermelon, like coconut,
is a symbol of summer in many countries.
Watermelon in the form of a watermelon
smoothie is another item that tourists
ask for when visiting
Thailand.
Thais eat watermelon flesh as a dessert
and snack, such as watermelon with dried
fish, and use the white flesh to make
sour soup, soup, and compote. Watermelon
is high in fluid, low in calories, good
for weight loss, skin nourishing, and
high in vitamin A and lycopene. The
white flesh is high in fiber, which acts
as a diuretic and lowers blood
pressure.
The main ingredients for watermelon
smoothies are only watermelon, ice,
syrup, and a technique that adds a
little salt, less than 1/8 teaspoon,
while blending. Without adding any
saltiness, the salt will balance out the
sweetness of the melon and
syrup.
Other ingredients such as lemon juice,
milk, yogurt, salak syrup, mint, or even
alcoholic beverages can be added to this
cool drink to add tastes and
uniqueness.
