Juice Benefits
With just two ingredients—watermelon and mint—this juice offers a variety of health benefits. But let’s delve into which categories it fits the most: Weight Loss Juice, Bloating Relief Juice, Hydrating Juice, and Mood Boosting Juice.
Weight Loss Juice
Watermelon juice, being low in calories and having a high water content, makes for an excellent addition to a weight-loss diet. It’s filling and satisfying without the extra calories.
Mint, with its bright flavor, helps to stimulate digestive enzymes, which could facilitate better absorption of nutrients and contribute to weight management.
Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to this juice, as it can boost your metabolism, potentially aiding in weight loss.
Bloating Relief Juice
Both watermelon and mint are known for their anti-bloating properties.
Watermelon is high in potassium, a mineral that helps maintain a proper balance of electrolytes and could prevent water retention and bloating.
Mint aids in soothing the digestive system, reducing the possibility of bloating and indigestion.
Adding a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice can aid digestion and relieve bloating further.
Hydrating Juice
With 92% water content, watermelon is ultra-hydrating, and it’s perfect for keeping you refreshed and hydrated all day. Moreover, it’s also packed with electrolytes that help maintain water balance in the body.
Mint leaves provide a fresh taste that also contributes to maintaining hydration levels.
To increase hydration, consider adding cucumber, another high-water-content fruit, to your juice.
Mood Boosting Juice
Mint has a natural component called L-carvone, which can have a calming effect and potentially alleviate symptoms of anxiety and fatigue.
The sweet taste and aroma of watermelon can also promote the release of serotonin, a hormone that boosts mood.
For an added mood boost, consider adding a handful of blueberries—they’re rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, both of which have been associated with mood improvement.
With Minty Watermelon Juice, enjoying a flavorful drink can also be a healthy choice! Feel free to tweak the ingredients to your taste and enjoy a refreshing method to nourish your body.

About the juicer
In this recipe, I used the Hurom HZ Premium series slow juicer. As the name itself says, it truly is the premium juicer by all aspects and I enjoy juicing with it.
You can choose between 2 different strainers (whether you like clear or pulpy juice) but there is also an ice-cream strainer in the package so you can make delicious ice creams or sorbets.
Check my review and see if this is the perfect juicer for you! 🙂
