    Default watermelon juice

    I have been making watermelon juice. I strain it so it is nice and smooth.
    It's really good for fasting and all, but for some reason I can not upload the photo.


    Take my word.. it's good. The juice is good i mean. I add minerals to it too.

    I also love watermelon juice, but I make it in my blender, seeds and all. It is way too liquidy to be called a smoothie, and I blend the ever living crud out of it so the seeds become powder and blend in with the liquid. That stuff is addictive I say...ADDICTIVE! But it is a GOOD addiction!

    I am going to have to make some watermelon juice. I wish I had some right now. I have always liked watermelon but for the last 2 to 3 weeks I have not been able to get enough. It is just after 10:00 p.m. and I am so tempted to run to the store for some watermelon - I don't know what has happened to me. I'm going to try it tomorrow I think.

    I too, am a watermelon juice lover. I have a question though: Why do you juice the rind? Isn't it too thick to juice? Isn't it too bitter? I have always tossed the rind part out.

    Also, why do you juice the seeds? Are the seeds good for you?

    I only know about juicing the actual flesh of the watermelon and appreciate you shedding some light on the seeds and rind.

    Seedless vs seeded??

    Thanks,

    In one of my books it mixes watermelon juice with rosewater, just a teaspoon per glass. It sounded so nice that I gave it a try. It definitely gets a thumbs up! :)

    Your signature line is great - it makes a very good point!! I sometimes think how fortunate we are to have functioning bodies; if we were to find ourselves one day completely paralyzed without any hope of becoming mobile again; what price would we pay for a working body? Even more inspiration to take the best care of our bodies that we can. . .

    juice the rind cuz thats where all the vitamins and minerals really are. plus loads of chlorophyll.

    i dont have a vitamix so when i blend the fruit with the rind juice the seed stuff just falls to the bottom and i dont drink it.

    as for the seed thing, im sure there is something good about them. i would never take the time to remove seeds from a watermelon whether i am eating or juicing so its not a conscious thing of keeping the seeds in
