How to Make Watermelon Juice

To start off, cut your watermelon into quarters. Spoon one quarter of the watermelon into your blender. Cut the tops off of 4 strawberries and add to your blender. Mix well.

Add remaining ingredients to blender (sugar, water, and ice). Blend well. This makes two very large glasses of juice.

A whole watermelon will make about 8-12 servings, but you will have to add and mix these ingredients each time so it can all fit in your blender.

How do you choose a good watermelon? Watermelons should have a field spot on one side of them where it was resting on the ground. It will be yellowy looking. The melon should also sound hollow when you tap it with your knuckles. Another way to check is if it has dull-looking skin. The shiny looking ones will typically be unripe. Or check our post here.

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones? Yes you can. This will give it more of a slushy texture instead of a juice-like one.

Can it be made with seeds? The best watermelon to use for this recipe is a seedless one. Do not consume the black seeds.

Can watermelon juice be frozen? You should freeze watermelon juice in a container with a lid, while leaving some space in it so it can expand. It will be fine in the freezer for 30-60 days. If you don’t end up freezing it will last in the fridge for up to 3 days.
