2 servings
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup english cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit whole fruits, roots, and botanicals that add fiber. The cucumber here is infused and then strained out, leaving virtually no residue, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid cucumber, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lime juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
For serving
- fresh basil sprigs, for serving (optional)
- lime wedges, for serving (optional)
