Ingredients
 

Okra water

  • 3 okras, cut into pieces
  • 550 ml water

Okra watermelon morning juice

  • 275 ml okra water
  • 500 g fresh watermelon, cut into pieces, (3 big cups approx.)

Equipment

  • 1 High speed blender (or a good blender)

Instructions
 

Okra water

  • Rinse 3 fresh okra pods and slice them into small pieces (removing the edges).
  • Place the sliced okra in a large jar or container with a lid. Add 550 ml of water. And let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight (or 8-12h approx.) so the nutrients infuse into the water.
  • The next morning remove the okra pieces (the water should be thick and slimy). You can keep the okra water in the fridge in a sealed glass jar for up to 4 days, ready for blending with watermelon pieces.

Okra watermelon morning juice

  • Cut the watermelon into chunks and add the pieces to a blender with half of your prepared okra water. Blend for few seconds or until smooth and frothy. Pour into 2 big glasses and enjoy (or transfer to a sealed jar for up to 24h).
  • Keep extra okra water in the fridge and use it when needed. So easy !
