Granddad loves to come and visit the kids and being the healthy man that he is he always brings a watermelon for us all to snack on (quite often along with a bottle of champagne but we'll pretend that's healthy too!). We love it, but every now and then the watermelon gets the better of us and we just can’t finish it despite our best efforts. That was when we discovered this beauty! It is the most simple and delicious snack you’ll ever make yourself – so simple, in fact, that you’re going to have finished reading this blog (and making yourself a watermelon smoothie, if you happen to have a water melon hanging around waiting to be eaten) before you’ve finished your cup of tea!
Chop up the water melon, or break it up, or spoon it out, in to pieces small enough to fit in to the blender but big enough to still make the blender do some work – it’s more satisfying that way. I think this is what Jamie Oliver means when he says “clank it up [proceeds to cut said ingredient] clank, clank, clank”. I love it!

Now add a little water, and if it’s not the worlds best watermelon (or you’re planning to feed it to the kids) chuck in a touch of sugar to sweeten the deal and then blitz away. You can make it runnier by adding more water (duh!), or sweeter by adding more sugar (or agave or any other sweetener).
It's the most beautiful colour, and it’ll keep in the fridge for a couple of days, or you can just skull it all in one go like we do.
