Cucumber and watermelon juice can do good for the body especially if you doing multiple sports and working out
The recipe
1
Prep the ingredients
5 mins
Chop 4 cups of seedless watermelon into chunks. Slice 1 large English cucumber (leave the skin on for a vibrant green color and extra nutrients). Peel 1 small lime.
2
Blend the base
1-2 mins
Toss the watermelon chunks into your blender first—their juice acts as the liquid base so you don't have to add water. Layer the cucumber, lime, and 4-5 fresh mint leaves on top. Blend on high until completely liquefied.
3
Strain the pulp
3 mins
Set a fine-mesh strainer (or a nut milk bag) over a large pitcher. Pour the blender mix through to separate the crisp juice from the thick pulp. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the solids to squeeze out every last drop.
4
Chill and serve
Ready instantly
Pour the strained juice over a glass packed with ice. Garnish with an extra mint sprip or a lime wheel if you're feeling fancy.
