Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by gathering all your ingredients: fresh seedless watermelon chunks, juicy raspberries, and zesty lime juice.
Cut the watermelon into small chunks and load half into your blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, until it's smooth and liquefied.
Once the watermelon is blended, add the remaining watermelon chunks, fresh raspberries, and a splash of lime juice. Blend on high speed for another 30 seconds or until smooth.
Place the fine metal strainer over a bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture into the strainer, using a spatula to push it through, leaving behind any solids.
Chill the juice in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. Serve over ice, stir gently to mix settled ingredients, and enjoy!
