Hydrating Watermelon & Cucumber Juice

Few combinations feel as cooling as watermelon and cucumber, and blending them together makes for a juice that tastes like summer distilled into a glass.

Both ingredients are made up mostly of water, which is why this drink is often reached for as a light, hydrating option — and good hydration is frequently mentioned alongside skin health and anti-aging routines. Fresh lime juice and mint add a clean, herbal edge that keeps the sweetness in check.

Blend, strain if you prefer it smooth, and pour over plenty of ice. A few extra mint leaves blended in, rather than just added as garnish, give the whole glass a cleaner, more herbal edge if you enjoy a stronger mint flavor. Freeze any leftover juice in ice pop molds for a naturally sweet, hydrating treat on a hot afternoon instead of letting it go to waste in the fridge.
