Enjoy this quick and easy way to start incorporating homemade juice into your routine. Rich in water, watermelon is a personal go-to when it comes to making healthy sips on the fly. Simply blend the sweet fleshy insides until you’re left with a slushy-like liquid and strain the pulp. What you do next with your fresh watermelon juice is up to you. But my favorite additions to make this refreshing beverage even more nutritious include citrus and herbs. Get the full recipe below for instant revitalization!
Ingredients
2 cups watermelon juice
1/4 cup lime juice, fresh
1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh
2 cups sparkling water
1 bunch mint
slices of lemon and lime
Ice

Chef’s tip: This drink goes great with a splash of champagne! If you’re celebrating something special, fill a glass a quarter of the way with champagne and finish it off with juice.
