Summers have officially begun in the Bay Area, and one of my absolute favorite ways to keep myself hydrated is fresh juices. Cantaloupe and Watermelons are in season now, and it is so easy to make fresh juice using these fruits.
I previously shared How to Make Watermelon and Strawberry Juice and this juice is pretty similar too. These homemade fresh juices are great for toddlers and for adults. In the summer months, fruit juices essentially keep us hydrated and can give a wonderful boost of energy.

Who cares what the benefits of strawberries are. These plush red summer berries are my absolute favorite in all its forms. But there are some phenomenal benefits associated with this fruit which is loved by all. This fruit is one of the top 10 vegetables and fruits which contains highest levels of anti-oxidants. Eat strawberries for beautiful, soft skin. As all fruits and vegetables protect us from cancer, diabetes and blood pressure strawberries do too.

This is a very simple pantry ingredients recipe. It takes about 6-7 ingredients and the refreshing juice is ready. I used Cantaloupe and Strawberries as the main fruit for the refreshing flavors along with some freshly squeezed lemon juice to give a sweet citrus twist to the juice. For more flavor, I added some fresh mint, ginger, cumin powder, and black salt. I like to serve this juice chilled along with our breakfast or sometimes I add soda water and serve it as a quick and easy mocktail.
