    Watermelon Cayenne Detox Juice

    Jun 18, 2015 • Drinks, Menstrual Phase, Ovulatory Phase, Smoothies and Juices

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Watermelon Cayenne Detox Juice - ultra cleansing, hydrating, refreshing and spicy while being naturally sweet. Only 3 ingredients to detox and rev up your metabolism. An icy and spicy summer drink. From The Glowing Fridge.

    Super spicy. Enough to notice the heat, at least.

    Sweet enough to make you smile. And naturally, like no added sweeteners. Watermelon is absolutely perfect for this.

    Ultra refreshing. I mean, surprisingly refreshing though.. I couldn’t stop sipping/chugging and “mmmmm” -ing till every last drop was gone.

    SUPER cold. Lots of ice cubes. Yes please. It’s hot out.

    And there you have it. My absolute favorite and super addicting summer detox juice. 

    Besides quenching your thirst, watermelon is a nutrient-rich natural diuretic. It rids of bloating from the high-water content and provides nourishing nutrients like Vitamin A and C as well as cancer-fighting lycopene. Watermelons are known to be super cleansing and alkalizing. They help flush everything out! Cayenne pepper revs up your metabolism and helps burn a few extra calories. Why not.

    Call me crazy but my tastebuds crave spicy, even when it’s 90 degrees outside. I add a little heat to everything. Marty is the same way. From stir fry’s to pasta to green juice and now this Watermelon Cayenne Detox Juice. Everything tastes better with a little spice, no?! So when the air is sticky and humid but you still crave some HEAT, make this icy and spicy juice. I assure you that post super-sweaty workout, this tastes like the best thing everrrrr. 

    Maybe you prefer less spicy, so use less cayenne pepper, but the amount of each ingredient I listed out for you ends up being PERFECT. Promise.

    This juice looks beautiful in pictures, especially in glass mason jars. The only thing I’m missing is straws! I ran out but they definitely would add a nice touch 🙂 so go blend up this 3-ingredient “juice” to cleanse and cool off at the same time. I call it a juice because it’s nothing like a thick, creamy smoothie, even though I used a blender, not a juicer. It’s super light, plus, I would rather blend it to keep all of the essential fiber. 

    I love the Blendtec to the moon and back but any blender will do the trick. The recipe makes 4 cups (2 servings).

      Awesome stuff. Please keep writing more things like this. I really like the fact you went so in depth on this and really explored the topic as much as you did. I read a lot of blogs but usually, it’s pretty shallow content. Thanks for upping the game here!

      What an interesting drink! I’m dying to try some right now. My jar blender died not too long ago and I haven’t replaced it yet, but I do have an immersion blender. Do you think an immersion blender would work, since the watermelon is so soft anyway?

      Thanks for sharing the recipe! Can’t wait to try it.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
