If you don’t have a juicer you can still make watermelon mint juice with a blender. Since watermelon is made up of 98% water it’s easy to extract the liquid from the fiber without special equipment like a juicer. Let’s learn how:

• Wash the watermelon and slice it into cubes. Rinse off the mint and pluck the leaves from the woody stems.
• Place the watermelon chunks and mint leaves into a blender. Run the blender on high for 30 seconds.
• Then pour the mixture through a strainer or a cheese cloth. This will help sift out the fiber from the watermelon. Leaving nothing but delicious juice behind!

There’s no denying the health benefits of juicing the watermelon rind. If you have a powerful blender you could blend a bit of the rind. Though if you have an older or less powerful blender I would avoid blending the rind.

However, if you have a juicer you can juice the rind without damaging your equipment.

• Slice the watermelon into long and narrow pieces that will fit into the juicer.
• Run the watermelon and mint through the juicer. Enjoy! No straining is required since the juicer will automatically separate the liquid from the pulp.

Watermelon mint juice should be enjoyed right away. As soon as the watermelon is juiced it starts to oxidize and the vitamins minerals and enzymes will start to die.

Juice and smoothies are both popular beverages made from fruits and vegetables, but they are different in several ways:

1. Ingredients: Juices are made by extracting the liquid from fruits and vegetables using a juicer, while smoothies are made by blending whole fruits and vegetables with liquids like milk or yogurt.
2. Fiber content: Smoothies are higher in fiber than juice because the whole fruit or vegetable is used, including the fiber-rich skin and pulp. In contrast, juice typically has little to no fiber, as it is removed during the juicing process.
3. Nutrient density: Because smoothies use the whole fruit or vegetable, they contain more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than juice. However, juice can be more concentrated in certain nutrients, such as vitamin C.
4. Calories: Smoothies are typically higher in calories than juice because they contain more ingredients and fiber, which can add up quickly. Juice, on the other hand, can be lower in calories but may not be as filling.

Overall, both juice and smoothies can be healthy choices, but the best choice depends on your individual nutritional needs and preferences.

For the best benefit juice should be the first thing consumed in the morning aside from water, coffee or tea. So for most people that is in the morning.

Do you practice intermittent fasting? Then drink juice 30 minutes before your first meal. Or when you start to get hungry. The time will depend on your body’s hunger cycle.
