Strawberry Watermelon Juice with Cucumber

This strawberry watermelon juice with cucumber is a refreshing and satisfying juice made with apple, cucumber, watermelon, citrus, and strawberries. It is full of vitamins and minerals and comes together quickly using a juicer.

We love treating myself to a refreshing cool drink on a hot summers day. Whether it’s a wild blueberry smoothie, a maple iced tea, or a fresh juice like this watermelon and cucumber juice. It’s always a treat to have a cold satisfying drink.

We love juicing fresh fruit and veggies because you get the immediate benefits of the vitamins and minerals. These vitamins and electrolytes help you feel a boost of energy and hydration.

Recipe ingredients

A juicer. We like to use the a WaringPro juicer because it is simple to clean.

How to make this recipe

It is very simple! Just cut your fruits and veggies in a way to fit your juicer. This includes removing the citrus peels from the lemon and lime. Cutting the strawberries, watermelon, apple and cucumber in shapes that fit the juicer.

Then you juice them.

Expert tips

• Use organic fruit and veggies as often as possible. If you are juicing, it is best to use organic fruits and veggies to decrease the pesticide load on your body.
• Tweak the recipe to your tastes. If you like more watermelon flavor, add more. If you like earthy cucumber, add more of that!
• Use an simple to use juicer. We find that if our juicer is hard to use or clean, we won’t use it.
