FAQ:
1. Can I use pre-cut watermelon? Yes, you can use pre-cut watermelon, but fresh watermelon will always give the best flavor and nutrition. Be sure to remove any seeds if using watermelon that isn’t seedless.
2. Can I substitute ginger powder for fresh ginger? While fresh ginger is recommended for its potent flavor, you can substitute about 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger if fresh ginger is unavailable. However, fresh ginger will provide a more vibrant taste.
3. How do I make this juice sweeter without honey? If you want a natural sweetness without added sugars, try adding a few chunks of ripe mango or a small amount of stevia for sweetness without the calories.
4. Can I freeze this juice? Yes, you can freeze the juice in ice cube trays. These frozen cubes can be used to chill future servings or added to smoothies for a cool, flavorful addition.
5. How do I make this juice less watery? If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of water or coconut water you use when blending, or add more watermelon for a richer texture.
