    Low Carb Watermelon Drink

    Jump to Recipe Pin for Later

    School is starting so I consider today a holiday for moms nationwide!  Indulge a little with your girlfriends and share this Low Carb Watermelon Drink to celebrate!  Add a splash of vodka if you really want to get the party started!

    The true inspiration behind this drink came from my 4 year old daughter.  She is not that fond of water, actually, her drink of choice is milk.  She is starting pre-k this year and I didn't think milk would be a good choice as it would be sitting in her lunch box all morning and not in the refrigerator.

    • She likes watermelon
    • she likes juice
    • I don't like to give my kids juice
    • watermelon is lower in carbs and full of flava!
    • I'll make watermelon juice! (minus vodka, duh)

    So that was my watermelon juice thought process.  I ended up drinking a cup and thinking "This is the most refreshing drink I have ever had!"

     

    Celebrate watermelon season with this low carb watermelon drink! It is so refreshing and tastes like you just bit into a fresh piece of watermelon. Booze it up with vodka and take it to your next girlfriend get together!“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

    So this low carb watermelon drink is super easy to make.  I started with a quarter of a medium sized watermelon.  I cut out the flesh and blended it in my blender until it was pureed.  I then used a paper towel lined colander inside a larger bowl to strain out the pulp.  This left me with 2 cups of watermelon juice!

    I poured the watermelon juice into a pitcher and added 4 cups of water.  I then sweetened it with ¼ teaspoon of liquid stevia.  It was so easy peasy and so delicious!  It seriously has so much flavor from the watermelon!  Instead of plain water, you could use sparkling water to fizz it up.  You could also add some fresh mint to jazz it up!

    Both of my kids loved it and I know you will love it too!  This is a little higher in carbs than I normally would do for a drink, but its okay to indulge every now and then.  Just don't drink the whole pitcher in one day!

      At 21gms of carbs per svg for the watermelon, how is this low carb?

        Because each serving of the drink is much less than 1 serving of watermelon
