3-Ingredient Watermelon Juice (Made in the blender!)

This easy-to-make watermelon juice is the most refreshing homemade drink! Perfect for a hot summer day when you’re in need of something tasty to drink. Made with only 3 ingredients and made without a juicer.

The best (& easiest!) homemade watermelon juice

The first time I made homemade watermelon juice I thought “there’s no WAY it’s that easy”.

But it turns out that it is in fact, that easy. I love it when that happens!

Like 3 ingredients, no juicer required, ready in less than 10 minutes easy.

And absolutely-insanely-delicious. Plus, it’s much cheaper than any store bought option, and way yummier, too!

So now it’s a regular thing at our house, especially when the days start to get hotter. Because there’s nothing more lovely than a tall, cold glass of watermelon juice to quench your thirst!

While watermelon does have pulp, it’s softer and less fibrous than the pulp of a lot of types of fruit. So instead of needing to juice it in a juicer, you can just blend the whole fruit.

You will be left with some pulp in the juice after blending, but it’s not an unpleasant texture. If you want a truly smooth, pulp-free watermelon juice you can strain it through a fine mesh strainer, but I never do! Just give is a good shake or stir before drinking.

It is so perfect to enjoy with breakfast, after a work out, or any time you’re craving something fresh and delicious.

Ingredient notes!

The ingredients for this watermelon juice are SO minimal! But there are a couple of substitutions you might want to make that I’ll mention below.

Fresh watermelon

Fresh watermelon is really the only ingredient that you *need* for this recipe. For the best tasting watermelon juice aim to buy the sweetest, juiciest watermelon you can find!

Lime juice

Lime juice is optional, but it does brighten up the flavor of the watermelon juice in the best way. You could use lemon juice instead. Fresh citrus juice always has the best flavor!

Sea salt

Just a pinch of sea salt brings together all of the other flavors! You only need the smallest amount – not enough to make the juice actually taste salty.

Recipe variations and serving suggestions

This easy blender juice can be sipped as is for a refreshing summer drink, or spruced up a bit for something extra *fancy*.

Here’s some ideas!

• Blended with fresh herbs like mint or basil.
• Blended with cucumber for a fresh vegetal layer of flavor. For this option, you’ll likely want to strain the juice before serving.
• Mixed with sparkling water and an extra squeeze of lemon or lime for a tasty mocktail.
• Used as a base for homemade popsicles. For a slightly sweeter treat you can blend in a little honey or maple syrup.
