After a workout or the weather starts heating up, there's nothing better than a slice of refreshing juicy watermelon. Added to that my love of coconuts and you have the perfect light summery hydrating goodness that is sweet and healthy at the same time!

Watermelons has a PH of 7.5 making it one of the most alkaline foods available. It's low in fat and high in nutrition making it one of the best fruits for post workout treat. Once a year I do a cleanse for a few days where all  I eat or blend is watermelon; flushing and hydrating my body as well as giving it a super alkaline boost.

Coconut, I've rave about all the time, highly nutritious, contains good fats, increases energy, boots the thyroid and the metabolism and packs a wallop in vitamins making it one of the best natural electrolyte sources in the world.

Mint leaves promotes digestion, it helps soothes the stomach aiding in indigestion and inflammation. It also gives everything a fresh and light flavour.

So there you go,  3 simple powerhouse ingredients together to light up your day!


Refresher Juice


2 cups watermelon
1 cup coconut water
several mint leaves


1. Blend all together on high

* For a thicker shake add the flesh of the coconut

Hi Binny

Simple and yummy. Just how I like it. I'm playing with the idea of growing watermelon. Need to do a crop rotation to give the soil and earth as much love as possible. Imagine, watermelon growing by the acre! I'll have one of these delicious drinks everyday if that's the case :-)

Thanks Binny :-)

    "I am not what happened to me,
    I am what I choose to become"
    Carl Gustave Jung

    I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.

    I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself.

    I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now.

    Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies.

    I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw  desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can.

    I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey...
