I always prefer eating fresh fruit chunks than preparing juices especially when the fruits are oranges and watermelon. If it is to be consumed as fresh fruit I clean it, remove the skin and while dicing them don't bother much to remove the seeds because we have this traditional way of spitting them out, where as while making juices can't leave even a single seed before they go into blender [with a fear that it may turn the juice bitter to taste] and that makes the job bit tedious. But then there are times when this tedious job becomes rewarding - a kiss/ a hug/ a compliment or all of them from my kids.

Buttermilk is an excellent digestive as well as a body cooler drink. I just crave to have this drink while driving back home through the scorching heat, sweating through the hot sunny afternoon. And upon reaching home many a times it's just gulping down a glass full of this drink [diluted with water and some salt added to it] even before taking my lunch. Finding a bottle of this drink at home and to grab it at any time of the day instead of aerated drinks is indeed a blessing.
This cool and revitalizing drink can also be flavoured with spices such as cumin powder, ginger, and herbs as mint leaves, coriander leaves, etc that makes it super tasty and the perfect appetizer. I love all the variations and pudina chaas is my favourite. Since it's summer time making this chaas would be better and simpler way to treat yourself !
