I went to Whole Foods yesterday and wanted a drink. They had three different choices: a green juice (which I could have just made at home, so I passed on it), a yummy orange/pineapple something or another, and a refreshing watermelon limeade. I opted for the watermelon and was blown away with how YUMMY watermelon juice is!! Immediately I knew I needed to recreate it, but when I got home I found that we didn’t have any limes, however we had lemons. So, I decided to make watermelon lemonade instead and when we go to the store next I will pick up some limes and make watermelon limeade next time! It’s sooooo simple!
Ingredients
- 3 c. watermelon
- 1/4 c. fresh-squeezed lemon juice juice of 1 large lemon, or a few small ones
Instructions
-
Cut watermelon into large chunks. Run through your juicer. Add freshly-squeezed lemon to watermelon juice. Chill 1 hour in refrigerator or chill immediately with ice cubes. Enjoy!

Yay! Did you get any that I made at the BBQ on the 4th? It may have been gone by the time you got there :( Let me know what you think about it! It’s SO refreshing!!
Steve Feld
This is equally as good with lime juice too! So refreshing!
Yvonne
It sure is! I will be sharing that recipe next!
Looks refreshing! Such pretty pictures.
Wow, you didnt add any extra water or sugar. This looks so tasty and I love that its sugar free (well besides natural sugars)
I can’t get enough lemonade and limeade this summer. This looks like a great way to cool off!

So excited to see you on the blog boost! I with Cindy… Can I use a blender, or what type of juicer do you recommend?
Yvonne
Yay! I’m trying to reply to Cindy – and I’m having technical issues… You can use a blender if you don’t have a juicer – it will be more of a slushy consistency rather than a “juice” consistency – I haven’t tried using the blender, but I plan to! I will let you know how it goes… or if you try it first, let me know :) As far as the juicer I would recommend – I’ve got a post about that here: http://icommitforlife.blogspot.com/2013/01/whats-all-this-juicing-about-faqs.html that you can check out!!
