I’ve spent a lot of time with watermelon recently and I discovered during that time that I love watermelon juice. Why? Because it takes that sweetness and ruby red color and distills it into a concentrated fruit nectar that can slake the most intense of thirsts. Vitamin C? Check. Vitamin A? Check. Lycopene, a health protective phytochemical? You betcha. Processed sugar? Not a drop. You will never think about Powerade again.
How to make it?
Start with one juicy watermelon. Seedless or full of seeds – it doesn’t matter.
Next, peel the watermelon.
Then chop the melon into roughly bite-sized chunks. At this point you’re going to need a fine straining device. The cheapest option is to use paint strainers. Don’t worry, it’s totally sanitary. You can wash them in hot water if it makes you feel better.
Below: Buy a couple of paint strainers from your local hardware store. Much cheaper than rice/almond/nut milk bags you get at natural food stores. I think it was about $2.
Put your watermelon chunks into one of the paint strainers and methodically crush the watermelon chunks with your hands as the juice runs out into a large bowl. You could try putting the chunk-filled bag into a bowl and mashing it with a potato masher, too. Twisting the bag helps put pressure on the melon, like wringing out a towel.
Lastly, view the glory of your watermelon juice! Best served really cold, by my taste.

Yum! Great blog, Mike.
Thanks, Deb! I enjoy it!
You lost me at “peel the watermelon”. I’ve never heard of that before!
Yeah, you have to be handy with a knife. It’s fun!
Mike, this is great. I can use all the lycopene I can get, and I love watermelon. Yeah!
Keep up the great work.
And it tastes so good when you drink it. I bet you can get more nutrients by juicing because you won’t fill up on the fibers. Of course you need fiber, too. You gotta balance it.
