Recipe Steps
If you have a decent blender, preferably a high-speed blender, you can make watermelon juice in 15 seconds. You don’t need to add water or anything, you simply just blend the watermelon chunks until they are liquified.
This recipe is made a little bit fancy by adding the juice of a fresh lime and some fresh mint leaves. If you like the flavor of watermelon, then you are going to absolutely love this fresh watermelon juice.
Step One
Chill your watermelon in the refrigerator. Then, cut it in half and cut off the rind. Cut the watermelon flesh of half of the watermelon into large chunks. Store the other half of the watermelon for another use.
Step Two
Combine the watermelon chunks, lime juice, and fresh mint in the base of your blender.
Step Three
Blend the watermelon chunks until they are liquified. This should only take between 15-30 seconds in a good blender.
Step Four
Pour the juice through a fine-mesh colander into a large bowl. This will get rid of any pulp from the watermelon.
Step Five
Serve the watermelon immediately, or store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
FAQs
Can this recipe be made in a juicer?
Yes, absolutely, but I personally think it can be made much faster in a blender.
Do I really have to strain the juice?
No, you don’t, but it will be a little bit thick if you don’t strain it.

I will be returning to OHI (Optimal Health Institute) in San Diego to complete the 3 week program. During the 3rd week they get into the preparation of raw food and we will prepare a delicious meal for the 2nd weekers.
Sounds amazing, Glenda!
I can’t wait until the local farmer markets are in full swing! We load up on all the great produce. A local vendor also makes some amazing Kale chips that we can only get at the huge market downtown, so that will be our summer treat.
I would love to get my hands on that book. 🙂
You look beautiful, happy, and best of all healthy! No vanity in showing a new look or buying new clothes when a person has lost weight, and better yet feels healthy and FULL of LIFE!!! That feeling is the BEST! Your picture shows that!
I am almost finished reading The Main Street Vegan. I just happened to see in in the bookstore and thought “Hm, this seems pretty good.” I did not know how popular it is or the media attention it had received. I found out soon as I started reading, it is not just “pretty good” it is in fact…SUPER good! She tells about being a Vegan from all aspects of it. It has a beautiful message …one that can change us, and the world.
Thanks so much, Tyrene, you are so sweet! And, I’m so glad to hear you liked the book. I agree, her message was beautiful and very open to all.
I am going to try some bean or oat burger patties this summer. I have purchased store bought ones before. This summer I am going to give making homemade ones a try.
Being a vegan is even more fun in the summer. Lots of great local veggies. Thanks for the book review.
I had no idea you could juice the watermelon rind, either! Now that you told us that, one thing I’ll be making this summer is watermelon juice!
Love the blonder locks!
I hope to be able to hear Victoria speak this weekend at an event in Houston.
I AM in the US at the moment, and do have a US address, if that qualifies me to enter! 🙂
Just received 2 huge sheets of kale leaves from my CSA, so kale chips is going to have to happen soon!! 😀
I joined a local CSA, plan to shop at farmers market this summer and try different veggies!
Holy moly, 37!? Never would have guessed that! My vegan goal this summer is to use my juicer more often, continue exploring new recipes, and – in honor of you – see just how many years I can take off of myself/my appearance by eating vegan! 😉
Thanks Rebecca! 🙂
I want to use my juicer more. I’ve already started this goal by making green lemonade. Can’t wait to try your recipe!
PS. Your hair is super cute
