How to Make this

1. Start by prepping all your ingredients; get 3 cups of fresh watermelon cubes (try to use seedless if possible), 1 cup of chopped cucumber, juice from 1 lime, and a handful of fresh mint leaves.

2. Put the watermelon cubes in a blender first so they’re the base of your drink.

3. Next, add the chopped cucumber to the blender along with the watermelon.

4. Squeeze in the juice from the lime over the fruits.

5. Toss in the fresh mint leaves for a burst of flavor.

6. If you like your drink cooler, throw in 1 cup of ice cubes.

7. For a touch of sweetness, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or agave if you feel like it.

8. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. If it seems too thick, you can blend a bit longer or add a few extra ice cubes.

9. Pour your Glow Hydration Juice into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy that refreshing taste.

FAQ

Glow Hydration Juice Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have watermelon, try using chopped honeydew or cantaloupe which are pretty similar in sweetness
• If cucumber is missing, grated zucchini can be used instead; note that it gives a milder flavor
• Instead of lime juice, a squeeze of fresh lemon works well and adds a similar tang
• When you’re out of mint, basil is a good option that brings its own unique twist
• If you want a different sweetener than honey or agave, you can experiment with maple syrup or date syrup

Pro Tips

1. For an extra icy twist, try pre-freezing your watermelon cubes before you blend the drink. That way, you’ll have a super chilled juice without watering it down too much when you add the ice later.

2. When blending, if you find the drink too thick, just add a little bit of water gradually. It’ll help smooth things out without messing up the flavor.

3. Be careful with the mint and lime, as both can be pretty strong. Start with a little and then add more if you feel it needs a boost so you dont accidentally overpower the watermelon taste.

4. If youre aiming for a sweeter drink, mix in the honey or agave slowly. Taste as you go, so you can keep the natural flavors without ending up with an overly sweet juice.
