If you're like me and can't eat enough watermelon this summer, give this Simple Watermelon Salad Recipe a try.
Though ridiculously simple, this watermelon salad has been my favorite breakfast so far this week. I make it by combining just a few cubes of watermelon with a creamy mint sauce. There's something about juicy watermelon that is just so refreshing.

Watermelon    
	Watermelon is a high-water-content fruit rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. It is one of the most easy to digest foods, which allows your body’s energy to more quickly return to its housecleaning work.
Avocados   
	Good quality fats (including Avocados, “cloudy” extra virgin olive oil and coconuts), enjoyed in moderation, will actually store in the body as energy and not fat which helps you lose weight in the long run.
