FAQ

Can I use watermelon with seeds?

Its best to use seedless watermelon cause seeds can mess with the texture. If you do use seeded watermelon, make sure you remove the seeds first.

What if my cucumber tastes a bit bitter?

You can soak it in cold water for a few minutes or add a little extra lime juice to balance out the flavor.

Do I really need to add cold water?

Not really, the cold water is optional. If your watermelon and cucumber are already chilled, you might not need it.

How should I prepare the mint leaves?

It helps to bruise or roughly chop them first so the flavor really comes out. But if you leave them whole youll get a milder taste.

How long can I keep this juice in the fridge?

It’s best to drink it right away to get all the vitamins, but if you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

Glow Hydration Juice Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Watermelon: You can try using cantaloupe or honeydew melon instead of seedless watermelon to keep that sweet, juicy base
Cucumber: Zucchini works well if you cant get fresh cucumbers or you want a slightly different crunch
Lime juice: Lemon juice is a great substitute if limes are too sour or not in season
Mint leaves: Fresh basil or cilantro can replace mint for a different yet fresh aromatic twist
Cold water: Coconut water is a fun alternative that adds a tropical hint to the juice

Pro Tips

1. Try chillin your watermelon, cucumber, and even the limes before you start blending. It really amps up the refreshment and makes the drink taste super cool on a hot day.

2. If your blender isn’t blending as smooth as you’d like, pour in the water slowly and give it another whirl. Sometimes, it takes a bit of extra effort to get the perfect texture.

3. Experiment with just a pinch of salt or even a sprinkle of cayenne pepper if you’re feeling adventurous. These tiny tweaks can really boost all the natural flavors without overpowering the drink.

4. Adding a few extra mint leaves on top when you serve not only makes it look nice, but also gives you that fresh herby aroma every time you take a sip. Enjoy tweaking things until you find your perfect mix!
