    What is Watermelon Juice?

    Watermelon Juice is a cool, delicious, and fresh drink made with just 2 ingredients without any sweeteners. This fruit by itself delivers a naturally sweet taste and thus it makes a healthy drink. And the high water content in the fruit helps in rehydrating your body instantly after the workout.

    Even though my family loves to eat the fruit itself, sometimes making it as the juice will never fail to impress them. Yes, it is such a hydrating summer drink to quench your thirst, and comes all together under 10 minutes. At times, I make Watermelon Smoothie for a quick filling breakfast especially if we need to grab something healthy to start off our day.

    Here I have used a medium-size watermelon, that yielded 4 cups of juice. You could always reduce or increase the quantity by adding extra water. But here the fruit itself has a high level of water content, so I have used only 2 cups of water for the whole fruit.

    Ingredients

    This supercooling watermelon juice needs mainly 3 ingredients and they are the following.

    Watermelon Juice Ingredients

    • Lime Juice - Delivers a zesty flavor and taste to the juice. You can also use lemon juice instead of lime
    • Mint Leaves (optional) - This gives a refreshing mint taste and fresh flavor to your drink and it does turn the juice to brown color. So feel free to use or skip it
    • Water - You can use water or just blend the fruit alone. Since the fruit has a high water content by itself
