Okay, let’s talk about what I did with watermelon juice today. It’s super hot outside, and I’ve got this huge watermelon sitting in my kitchen. I mean this was one big watermelon! First I figured, what the heck, let’s make some juice. I’ve made watermelon juice before, and it is one of the most refreshing things on the planet when it’s hot out.
So I grabbed the watermelon and sliced that bad boy in half. Then I cut it into smaller chunks. You want them to be small enough to throw into the blender. I’m not a fancy cook, so I just scooped out the watermelon flesh with a big spoon. And of course, I picked out most of the seeds, but a few were definitely left there – no big deal, right?
Making the Juice
- First, I dumped the watermelon chunks into my blender.
- Then, I just blended everything until it was nice and smooth.
It was a nice pinkish-red color, so pretty. You could drink it just like that, and I’m sure it’s pretty healthy since it’s just straight-up fruit.
But I wanted to do a little more. I remembered reading somewhere that watermelon goes well with other fruits. So I looked in my fridge and found some strawberries and a couple of limes. Perfect!
I washed the strawberries, chopped them up, and tossed them into the blender with the watermelon juice. Then I squeezed the juice of one lime in there too. I blended it all up again, and wow, the color turned a little bit darker red, and it smelled amazing – sweet and tangy all at once.
I poured myself a glass, and man, it was delicious! The strawberries added some extra sweetness, and the lime gave it a nice little kick. I also tried adding some mango and oranges that I had, and it was also very delicious. They are all so good, and I can’t tell which one is my favorite. If you’ve got other fruits like bananas or pineapple, I bet they’d be awesome in there too.
I put the rest of the juice in a pitcher and stuck it in the fridge. I read online that it can last a few days in there, or even longer if you freeze it. I’m gonna try freezing some of it later to make some popsicles, maybe. This is such a great way to use up a bunch of watermelon, especially when it’s hot out. I’m definitely gonna be making this again. And maybe I can add something else that you guys suggest, and I’ll try it next time.
So there you have it! That’s what I did with my watermelon juice today. Easy, refreshing, and super tasty. Give it a try if you’ve got a watermelon lying around!
