Do you have any idea of how sweet, colorful and juicy is the watermelon juice? Have you ever tried to juice watermelon? Well… I can tell you that last week, in a Tuesday morning, my senses were pampered.
So, like I said, Tuesday morning…I got up a bit earlier than usual. I opened the fridge, and there it was: one big sweet watermelon. It was exactly what I need it that morning…a juicy vibrant fruit. So I decided to juice it and to make myself a big jar of watermelon juice, for the 1st time in my life. I must tell you that I was both excited and curios.
Well… The recipe is pretty hilarious, as you can assume:
- Watermelon core
- Juice from 1 lemon
You put these 2 ingredients in the juicer and…there’s the juice…so please don’t say it’s hard or complicated, because you don’t have any excuse, ok?
You can make this juice whenever you want, in the summer time, preferably from local watermelons and you will not get dehydrated or thirsty anymore. But let’s see what benefits has the watermelon juice, besides its amazing and refreshing taste that I just adore… DRUM ROLL PLEASSSSSEEEEE :
- By juicing watermelon you increase your nutrients consumption. When you juice watermelon, the fruit is broken down and the juicer can extract a big quantity of liquid + a huge amount of minerals and vitamins. 3 pound of fresh watermelon core gives about 2.3 pounds of fresh juice. Imagine how much nutrition is found here, full dose of easy absorbable nutrients.
- Watermelon juice is rich in vitamin A, B1, B6, C, beta-carotene, lycopene, potassium, zinc, and magnesium. You can also add the rind and seeds when juicing for added nutritional goodies.
- Watermelon juice helps protect our liver… BIG TIME, by its amazing alkaline effect upon our body. It does the same with all our organs and tissues, but it is well known for helping the liver in detoxifying itself.
- Watermelon juice helps in reducing muscle soreness after workout, by the same alkaline effect.
- Well… watermelon juice has some secrets, which were discovered thousands of years ago and are also known in our days. In the modern world in which we live, the watermelon juice is famous for his “VIAGRA” effect.

As you can see watermelon juice has a lot of amazing health benefits, and in my point of view… no “black flags”. This means you can indulge with watermelon juice as many times as you wish. The only think that I recommend is to consume the juice on empty stomach or after 3 hours from your previous meals. Believe me, from experience, it is not funny to drink watermelon juice earlier than 3 hours after your meals.
I hope I convinced you, at least to try it once… what you have to lose? Nothing!!! But you could gain some health and vitality in return.
Let’s juice this big ball of… pure pleasure!
