Fresh Watermelon Juice with Mint & Lime

A perfect summer drink and the best way to use up old watermelon!

I'm getting ready to say goodbye to summer...but I am still enjoying the last of the fresh watermelon!

This is a delicious and simple juice to make if you're wondering what to do with the rest of your whole watermelon so that it doesn't go to waste.

Watermelon is a great source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, B5, and Potassium. It makes for a delicious and nutrient-packed beverage to start your morning & can be made in less than 5 minutes! I hope you enjoy :)

Total time: 5 minutes

Recipe notes:

• I use Nature's Nectar 100% pure coconut water in a box from Aldi (see photo below). I love this brand because I can replace the cap and save the rest for later!
