Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon, cut into cubes, about 8 cups of cubed watermelon
- 1-2 tablespoons lime juice (optional)
- A generous pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prep watermelon: Cut up or scoop out the flesh of the watermelon into cubes and place into the blender. If using seeded watermelon, remove seeds as much as possible before adding.
- Add lime juice and sea salt: Pour lime juice and add a pinch of sea salt to the blender with the watermelon. These ingredients are optional but enhance the flavor.
- Blend the juice: Blend the mixture for 45 seconds to a minute until smooth. Use a blender tamper at the beginning if needed to get the watermelon moving.
- Strain if desired: For a pulp-free juice, strain through a fine mesh strainer or a nut milk bag. Otherwise, leave as is for a more natural texture. Stir or shake before serving if unstrained, as separation will occur.
- Chill and serve: Transfer the juice to a jar or pitcher and refrigerate until cold. Alternatively, serve immediately over ice for a refreshing drink.
Notes
- If you don’t have seedless watermelon, remove seeds carefully before blending.
- Adjust lime juice according to your taste preference.
- The sea salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors but can be omitted for a pure fruit juice.
- For best results, chill watermelon before blending to make the juice colder without dilution.
- The juice may separate after sitting; stir well before serving.
