This is a pretty simple melon juicing recipe, but it’s pretty effective as far as melons go. It has the potential for adding other fruits as well. (Berries and cherry juice seem to work). The orange helps balance out the sweetness of the melons, although some people actually like that in the drink.

Ingredients:

1/4 cantaloupe, skins and seeds removed
1/4 honeydew, skins and seeds removed
1 orange, peeled but white pith OK

Directions:

Some people don’t remove the melon skins, but I always do. I know most of the nutrients are in rind so if you’re concerned about that you can try juice the rind. I wouldn’t juice the seeds however, as I think they have potential to damage a juicemaker.

Cut the melon into spears to make for easier juicing. Go ahead and juice those together, and then process the orange. Stir together and drink.

Makes about 1 1/4 cups of juice.
