Watermelon-cranberry agua fresca (Diabetic)

Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds seedless watermelon, rind removed and diced (about 7 cups)
1 cup fruit-sweetened cranberry juice (sometimes called cranberry nectar)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 lime, cut into 6 slices

Method:

Place the melon in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a bowl to eliminate the pulp and clarify the juice. Pour the juice into a large pitcher. Add the cranberry and lime juices and stir to combine. Refrigerate until very cold.
Pour into tall chilled glasses and garnish each with a fresh lime slice.

Dietitian's tip:
Aguas frescas are popular fresh-fruit drinks in Mexico. Although water is a standard ingredient, this undiluted version is a thirst-quenching refresher whether accompanying spicy foods or sipped in the sun.
