Introduction

Watermelon juice is a refreshing drink that can be enjoyed on any day. It’s a great summer cooler drink that can beat the scorching heat.

All it requires is blending of watermelon chunks  with some spices. No wonder if I say kids love this juice!

I sometimes blend watermelon chunks with a bit of sugar but it’s optional.

Mint leaves can also be used while blending which enhances the taste. Again, it’s optional.

I prefer purchasing seedless watermelon so that I do not have to separate the black seeds. Though these watermelons have white seeds, they are edible and can be ignored.

I am in love with this fruit since childhood and have enjoyed every variation of it including watermelon chat, juice, watermelon lemonade. Luckily,this is also my daughter’s favorite fruit and now we both enjoy this fruit and it’s variations together.

Not only is watermelon very high in water content but also acts as antioxidant and improves digestion.

This juice is digested easily and will make you feel hungry soon.

Variations

Watermelon Lemonade: A combination of watermelon,lemon juice, water and ice cubes results into watermelon lemonade.
