Summer Watermelon Juice

Summer produce is always so amazing and delicious. Fresh blueberries, juicy peaches, swollen blackberries and tasty watermelon. There are endless recipes for all the delectable summertime fruits but sometimes I don't want to eat them, I want to drink them! Fresh fruit juice is a wonderful treat on a hot summer day and its quick and easy.

When we traveled in Costa Rica, we stayed with a family who always made fresh fruit juice throughout the day. Reba made juice with all sorts of tropical fruits such as papayas, coconuts and mangos. She was very simple and would blend the fruit with just water and ice. Blending fresh fruits always reminds me of Reba so this watermelon juice recipe is inspired by her. Enjoy!

What You Need:

Blender or Juicer
Citrus juicer

1 small watermelon

1 medium orange*

1/2 lime
4-5 ice cubes

Serves 1

*An alternate option to orange juice would be coconut water

What To Do: 

1. Cut up the watermelon into small chunks until it makes about 2 cups - the more the better though! 

2. Juice the orange which will give you about 1/2 cup of juice

3. Squeeze half a lime directly into the blender.

4. Add watermelon, orange juice and ice cubes to the blender and blend on high until smooth. Pour into a cup, take a seat on the porch and enjoy your fresh juice!
