request for watermelon smoothie type recipe

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I bought a watermelon that was just too ripe to eat, but I think would make

good smoothie type drinks. Does anyone have a recipe to use up my

watermelon?

 

Thanks

Hope some of these might sound interesting to you. I haven't tried any,

but I sure have a thirst now!
