Recipe:
1.5 cups watermelon – chopped into pieces or cubes because it makes it easy to fit into the juicer.
Remember- you need a good juicer for these fruits, a juicer that will extract almost 100% of pulp juice. Check out The Best Juicers Reviews article, and look for a cold press juicer. If you have a small budget, you may want to look for a good centrifugal juicer.
It’s perfectly safe and nutritious to juice watermelon seeds, so be sure to leave those on the watermelon for added nutrients.
Watermelon rind is able to be juiced, it is packed with additional nutrients that you would not get with just the flesh alone. If you choose to do this be sure to scrub the rind clean before juicing.
Including the rind in your juice will add a powerhouse of nutrients to your juice but keep in mind your juice won’t be as sweet.
1.5 cups pineapple – peeled and chopped into pieces.
Place all ingredients into the juicer and juice.
As a result, we have the finished product (pictured above) – yum!
As you can see my juice is more ‘clearer’ than usual and that is because I strained it through a nut milk bag..
This step is entirely optional, but it’s something that I always do because I don’t like pulp and sediment in my juices. I like it super smooth.
Depending on your preference you can choose to skip this step.
That’s it! It is as easy as that – chop, juice and enjoy!
I hope you enjoy making this simple, tasty and healthy juice. I am sure it will be a favorite of yours for a long time to come.
There is nothing quite like the taste of the tropics in a glass.
