Simple and so refreshing, this watermelon juice recipe is the ultimate summertime drink! It takes 5 minutes to make and is packed with sweet flavor and tons of electrolytes.
One of my favorite things about summertime is all the fruit recipes. I look forward all year to making things like gluten-free blueberry crisp, banana and blackberry muffins, and strawberry Dutch baby with fresh ingredients.
Ever since I can remember, watermelon has been my favorite fruit. I used to always eat it plain, but a few years ago my husband convinced me to try lime juice on it.
That combination couldn’t have been better! When I decided to make watermelon juice, I knew lime had to be the “secret” ingredient, and it adds just the perfect touch to this refreshing drink.
Why You’ll Love this Recipe

Tips for Success
Use a seedless watermelon – You don’t want all the seeds in your drink and picking them out can be time consuming.
Use cold ingredients – It’ll make it so much more delicious and refreshing!
Don’t move the immersion blender too much – Just hold in the glass and blend. If you move it much you risk making a big sticky mess (ask me how I know).
