I just wanted to let everyone know that you do NOT have to "peel" the watermelon! As stated, just wash the rind, peel and all. You can add anything you want and the watermelon rind gives it a fresh, cucumber flavor (really!) and also makes the smoothie more hearty and thick. NEVER throw away watermelon rind with peel again!! You can even cut the rind into small pieces and freeze it to make smoothies later! Thanks for this recipe.
