Watermelon Strawberry Juice

Fresh watermelon and strawberry juice in a glass with watermelon wedges and strawberries

Watermelon Strawberry Juice

Just watermelon and strawberries, nothing playing a supporting role. It pours out a deep pink, sweet but never sickly, and the berries give it a clean tart edge so it does not taste flat. Two minutes in a juicer and you have the real thing instead of something from a carton.

1 High-speed blender for the blender method
1 Nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve to strain the blender version
2 Airtight glass bottles for storing
1 Budget cold press juicer a great value alternative
1 Budget blender a great value alternative

Ingredients

500 g watermelon flesh rind removed, cut into chunks, about a quarter of a small melon
300 g strawberries hulled, about 18 medium berries

Instructions

Juicer method

Cut the rind off the watermelon and chop the flesh into chunks that fit your feed chute. Leave the seeds in, they get pushed out with the pulp.
Hull the strawberries and feed them through after the watermelon.
Juice everything together. Watermelon gives up a lot of liquid on its own and carries the strawberries through with it.
Give the glass a stir. Drink it straight away, or pour it into a bottle and keep it cold for up to two days.

Blender method

Chop the watermelon flesh and hull the strawberries, then put both in the blender.
Blend on high for about a minute, until there are no lumps of fruit left.
Pour it through a nut milk bag or a fine sieve over a jug. Squeeze the pulp to get the last of the juice out, then bin the pulp.
Chill it for half an hour before drinking, or serve it over ice if you are in a hurry.

Notes

Chill the fruit first. Watermelon straight from the fridge juices cold, so you will not need ice, and ice only waters it down. If your strawberries are a bit sharp, use the ripest ones at the bottom of the punnet rather than adding sugar.
