Watermelon Juice – Easiest and Nutritious Beverage to Make Yourself

You NOLY need a blender and a kitchen knife.

How to:

1. Wash the watermelon
2. Cut it up to smaller pieces. We want the red flesh part and some white part as well. The watermelon skin is very nutritious.
3. Put the watermelon in the blender and let it do the job.
4. Squeeze some lime juice in it. Pour and enjoy! Although Lime is optional but I would strongly suggest to use it as the flavor becomes better.

Here is some approximation math.

A large watermelon cost around $6.00 – $8.00 each these days in US. It yields 10 to 14 glasses of 16-ounce of watermelon juice. So it costs about $0.50 cents per glass with limes. If I would buy it from a smoothie shop, it costs me around $5-$6 per glass or more. That’s why I never order watermelon juice from any restaurants and smoothie stores.

You can try it yourself and keep your money!

Receipt:

1) 2 tablespoons of extra virgin oil

2) 2 tablespoons of chicken broth

3) Salt and pepper to taste

Mix the vegetables well.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Roast vegetables for 45 minutes. Let it sit for 10 minutes and serve with salmon, chicken or just roasted vegetables alone. One of my family’s favorite.
