Equipment

Blender
Fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional)
Measuring cups and spoons
Knife and cutting board
Citrus juicer (optional)

Ingredients

4 cups Watermelon, seedless, cubed 600g
¼ cup Fresh lime juice 60ml
¼ cup Fresh mint leaves 10g
2 tablespoons Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener, granulated 24g
2 cups Ice cubes approx. 300g
Fresh lime slices for garnish optional
Additional mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Start by cubing your watermelon into bite-sized pieces, ensuring any seeds are removed. Squeeze fresh limes until you have 1/4 cup of juice. Rinse and pat dry the mint leaves.
Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, lime juice, mint leaves, and low-carb sweetener. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth.
Strain (Optional): For a smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl to remove any pulp or mint bits, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
Chill: Fill four glasses with ice cubes and pour the strained juice over the ice.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint, if desired. Stir well before serving to ensure the sweetener is well dissolved.
Enjoy: Sip and enjoy the refreshing flavors of summer with this keto-friendly juice!

Notes

For an extra chill, refrigerate the watermelon cubes prior to blending.

Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less low-carb sweetener.

If you want to add a bit of fizz to your juice, top it off with some chilled sparkling water before serving.

Remember to count the carbs in this juice as part of your daily keto carb limit.
