Watermelon and Orange Cooler – A Super Delicious Fruit Drink

Watermelon and Orange Cooler

This is one nourishing drink that is a combination of two super fruits – Watermelon and Orange and is on the top of my must have summer drinks.

Though best eaten in their basic form, the juices of these two fruits are equally nutritious and so I thought of mixing these two nourishing juices to make a delicious drink.

Why are cool drinks important?

The summer heat makes our body lose lots of fluids and we need to stay hydrated. Water does not provide nutrition that is lost due to sweating. We need to consume other liquids too.

Thus, cold drinks are the best way to stay hydrated. But make sure they are not carbonated.

You can make healthy fruit drinks easily at home with fruits that have high water content.

Fruits with high water Content

1. Watermelon is one fruit that should not be missed during the hot summer days. It is the coolest fruit with nearly 91% Water and 9% Sugar and has many health benefits. Listing some below:
