Hey Y’all, isn’t the next day after a long weekend always so exhaustive and with the kind of food all of us end up eating (unless you follow a strict diet), most of us are in no mood to make anything or even think of eating,

So this fresh Watermelon Cucumber Juice serves as our first or even second meal of the day and fills the body with required nutrients without us making too much effort to cook.

Summer is kinda approaching (sometimes it makes a U-turn here in San Francisco Bay Area 😉 )

And we are flooded with these sweet, seedless watermelon that makes this Watermelon Cucumber Detox just as gorgeous to look as it is delicious to drink.

This is not a new recipe on my blog but has been around since 2014 and a lot of you love it already.

So I decided to click some new pictures yesterday while we sipped on this Watermelon Cucumber Juice Detox at almost 90 degrees!!

Homemade Watermelon Cucumber Juice Ingredients

I recommend using fresh ingredients everytime as they are the best for detox or fresh juices. If you donot have fresh, then use canned or frozen.

  • Watermelon
  • Cucumber
  • Lime Juice

The coincidence with this post and new pictures is that the initial post was done in July 2014 just before July 04th holiday and we were in similar food coma situation 😉

So you can guess by now that the recipe is our favorite way to detox.

Also here are some details on this Watermelon Cucumber Juice:

Watermelon

  • Watermelon is mostly water, that is it consists of 92 % Water + 8% Nutrients.
  • It has a high amount of Citrulline, which creates a diuretic effect in the body (makes us pee a lot) hence helps in removing toxins from the body.
  • It’s High in dietary fiber, which means more roughage goes in the body, hence keeps your colon clean – so perfect for Colon Diet.
  • It’s Low in Sodium and High in Potassium, so great for kidney cleanse.
  • Contains Glutathione which is good for liver cleansing.

Cucumber

  • High in Water content, Nutrients & low in calories.
  • Is an Antioxidants, hence help the body fight free radicals.
  • High in Vitamin C
  • High in Magnesium
  • High in Beta-Carotenes for Healthy Skin and Eyes.

Mint

  • Mint helps to further reduce inflammation and works as a natural diuretic.
  • Many of it’s benefits are the same as above.

So, here goes the old article ————————————————————————————

Here comes the “Long Weekend” and this surely is a huge one being 4th of July (Independence Day in the USA)…..

All we can think about is Partying with friends n family, Lots of Food, Tons of Drinks and off-course our Fav – BBQ’s 🙂

After planning all the above, I realized that by the end of the week just like every year, we would start having the feeling of over-eating/drinking, feeling bloated n much more such stuff.

That’s when this Watermelon Cucumber Detox recipe comes in handy.

But this time, I’m going to be a little different by having lots of “Detox” juice or water.

I’ve tried this detox many times(1-2days in a row) for past few months and everytime it works.

It does make me feel lighter and energetic, also helps in losing a couple of weight (If followed in the right interval) and the best of it…..ladies especially for us – it helps DEBLOAT !!!

All the ingredients mentioned are organic, easily available in any local grocery/vegetable stores and you don’t need a fancy or any juicer to make this.

Did you Know: 

Watermelon and Cucumber: Come from the same melon family and are mostly (about 90%) water.

They both are natural diuretic hence helps in flushing excess water and toxins out of our system.

Also, I feel it’s a great n natural way to keep our-self hydrated and energetic.

    I tried this morning after my morning walk, it was refreshing and tasted pretty good. Loved it over ice. I think would taste good with champagne also, lol.

      Hi Rossi, I’m so happy you tried the detox drink and liked it. It’s my favorite summer drink and that champagne option does sound awesome!

  • Linda June 26, 2016 (10:27 am)

    Hi Molly,

    This beverage sounds really good and I would like to try this.
    How many times a day would you recommend drinking it and how many times a week?

    Thank you,
    Linda

    will definitely try this. Not just for bloat but because watermelon and cukes are two of my favorite foods…and isn’t their color together inviting!

  • M Monson May 16, 2016 (5:28 am)

    We are over 100 degrees here in Arizona, an I am definitely getting this!
