Lately I’ve been obsessed with watermelon – and rightly so I think, as it’s such a refreshing summertime fruit. You may have noticed this because of my frequent mention of watermelon smoothies. Can’t.stop.making.them!
Besides blending smoothies, making salads like this one with it, and eating watermelon all on its own, I’ve also thrown it in my juicer a bunch of times lately.
Does anyone else drink fresh juice out of a wine glass?
I realized that I haven’t posted a juice recipe in awhile, but that’s not because I haven’t been juicing. It’s more so because for a few months there, I got a little boring with my juices: always apple, carrots, and ginger, and then I’d often thrown in spinach or cucumber. When I realized that I was in a juicing rut, I decided to get a little more creative, and thus, this green watermelon mint juice came to fruition in my kitchen.
Watermelon Cucumber Mint Juice
Ingredients
- 3 cups of watermelon
- 1/2 large cucumber
- 1 stalk of celery
- 6-8 mint leaves
- 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Juice the watermelon, cucumber, celery, and mint leaves into a glass. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the glass and stir, throw a couple of ice cubes into the mix, and enjoy!
The thing I love about making a juice in the morning is that I nourish my body with a bunch of fruits and veggies in one little glass. I don’t do it every day, but I’ve found a happy balance in making a juice a couple of mornings a week, and I definitely like getting green juice when I’m out and about somewhere that offers it (which takes the work out of enjoying a juice!).
Do you juice? If so, what’s your go-to combo?

I love watermelon anything. I’ve never even thought of juicing it. I do have a really nice juicer but I get tired of cleaning it, honestly. I may have to break it out since this sounds so good. 🙂

This looks great! I think I need to get a juicer asap.

I love mine! It’s actually my parents – they had it sitting in their garage, so when I was home visiting, I shipped it back to my house 🙂
