A Melony Surprise That Is Berry Good!

Melons Are Good For you. You probably know this. It is afterall a Fruit and all fruits and vegatables are good for you. Did you know that melons in particular keep you looking young?

Foods high in water content, such as cucumbers, watermelon, apples, peaches, melons, and celery, are some of the best hydrating solutions for your skin, says Simpson. They keep away wrinkles (No lie) and therefore keep you looking fresh-faced. I also recommends hydrating fluids, like green tea or sparkling beverages, to keep the skin moist.

Here is a nice melony drink to go along with this.. It's called Watermelon-Berry Sparkler-

Ingredients:

2 cup(s) watermelon, cubed and seeded
1 container(s) (6 ounces) red raspberries
2 tablespoon(s) superfine sugar, use 3 tablespoons if too tart
Cold brut champagne or prosecco (dry Italian sparkling wine)

Directions:

1. Puree watermelon and raspberries in a blender. Scrape mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard seeds. Stir sugar into puree (adding more if too tart). Puree can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated.

2. For sparklers, pour 2 tbsp puree into each champagne glass and top with 4 oz cold brut champagne or prosecco. For a nonalcoholic version (I say this although I know that doesn't appeal to most of you...the uh non-alcoholic part!), use club soda or seltzer instead.

Enjoy!
