Ingredients
2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and seeded
1 medium beet, peeled and chopped
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1-inch piece fresh turmeric (or ½ teaspoon ground turmeric)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)
1 cup cold water (or coconut water for more hydration)
Ice cubes (optional)
Honey or maple syrup to taste (optional, if you prefer it sweeter)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Peel and chop the beet, ginger, and turmeric into small pieces to make blending easier.
Cube and deseed the watermelon.
If using ground turmeric instead of fresh, measure out ½ teaspoon.
Step 2: Blend Everything Together
In a blender, combine watermelon, beet, ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, and water (or coconut water).
Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired.
Step 3: Strain (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother juice, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
Press with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 4: Serve
Pour the juice into glasses filled with ice cubes.
Serve immediately while fresh and chilled.
For a beautiful finish, garnish with a thin slice of watermelon or a sprig of mint.
How to Make
Start by preparing all your ingredients — fresh produce makes a huge difference.
Blend everything until silky and vibrant.
If you want a clear, smooth texture, strain it; otherwise, enjoy it with all the natural fiber.
Serve cold and drink it fresh to get the maximum nutrient benefits.
Variations
Citrus Boost: Add an orange or half a grapefruit for extra vitamin C.
Green Power: Blend in a handful of spinach or kale for an extra dose of greens.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for metabolism support.
Cooling Touch: Toss in a few mint leaves for a refreshing aroma.
Smoothie Version: Add a banana or yogurt instead of water for a creamy twist.
Tips
Use gloves when handling beets to avoid staining your hands.
Fresh turmeric can stain surfaces — cut it on a washable board.
Always drink this juice fresh to retain its enzymes and nutrients.
If storing, keep it refrigerated in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours.
Stir before serving, as natural separation may occur.
