Ingredients

6 servings

6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about ½ small watermelon)
3 tbsp honey
Ingredient note
AIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ cup water
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
1 pinch salt

For serving

fresh mint sprigs, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the honey and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the mint leaves. Let steep for 5 minutes, then strain out and discard the mint leaves.
2
Working in batches if needed, blend the watermelon cubes in a blender until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
