To me, watermelons are the epitome of summer–they’re refreshing, healthy and oh, so tasty. I’ve noticed that my local grocery store has been selling mini watermelons and it makes me so excited. Watermelon is one of my very favorite fruits – not only is it delicious, it’s versatile and can be used to make a variety of yummy, tasty yet easy snacks.

I wanted to show you all how to make a yummy and refreshing watermelon juice with a kick. The following watermelon mint juice recipe is so easy, and soon enough, you’ll be blending up a storm in your kitchen.

Easy Watermelon Mint Juice

Funnily enough, I had never really grown up drinking watermelon juice as it always seemed much more appealing to me to eat watermelon whole. And by that, I mean I would cut the watermelon up. I am not some savage eating the rind haha. It wasn’t really until last year that I really got into watermelon juice, and partially, because of how refreshing it was and how easy it was to drink. I love watermelon, but it can be a little messy, a little runny. You know how it goes.

What Makes It the perfect summer drink?

The great thing about this juice, other than being easy as pie to make, is the fact that it is so healthy. There is no need to add any sugar, due to the natural sweetness of the watermelon, plus it has mint and a hint of lemon (my ‘secret’ ingredient. 

I’ve both used and talked about mint quite a lot throughout my blog. While it’s a little hard to eat on it’s own, it is fantastic when blended into the right foods, such as this watermelon juice! Mint has long been used as a way to aid indigestion, as well as to halt hiccups, and there is limited research that shows that it can help promote hair growth. I think we all know why watermelon is such a lovely and healthy food, but to put it simply, it’s a low-calorie food that contains a plethora of vitamins and minerals, it can supposedly help soothe sore muscles as well as help heart health.

Without further ado, here is my yummy and easy watermelon mint juice!
