LAKE ELSINORE, CA – The limited-edition Sandía Loca Smoothie and Bowl. are returning to Lake Elsinore's Juice It Up!

What is a Sandía Loca Smoothie? It translates to "crazy watermelon" in Spanish, a spokesperson from Juice It Up! tells us. The drink and bowl are packed with Vitamin C and other immunity-boosting ingredients.

"Bursting with refreshing summer flavors, this lineup is guaranteed to keep guests cool and hydrated all summer long," they said. It is inspired by a traditional Mexican treat made with fresh fruit and commonly served in a hollowed-out watermelon and topped with Tajín spices.
