PREPARATION
1
Wash your fruit thoroughly because just like other fruits, watermelon needs to be washed properly although the skin is not necessary here;
2
Next cut the watermelons into strips, then using a fork, remove all the seeds from the fruit and cut into small pieces; seedless watermelon can also be used to make your juice. However, it should be noted that seedless varieties of watermelon are generally less juicy than seedless varieties. Thus the juice in the latter can be less concentrated. It is therefore possible that it is necessary to use more watermelon to obtain the same quantity of juice. 
3
Then put the slices in a blender or mixer and the ginger, add half a glass of water and mix properly until you obtain a very smooth mixture; You can still use a juice extractor or citrus press
4
Serve your juice in a glass with ice cubes or leave to cool in the refrigerator before consuming;

You can strain the mixture before serving but it is better to leave the mixture as it is to enjoy your juice as if it were your fruit. All you have to do is add a straw. You can optionally add sugar or honey to make it sweeter, it all depends on your taste. For more flavor, you can add the ingredients below in any event:
- Mint: It gives a little burst of freshness and can mask the natural acidity of the watermelon.
- Cucumber: it is very hydrating and refreshing, it gives a fresher texture.
- Lemon or lime: They add a touch of acidity and zing to the juice.
- Strawberry or raspberry: they add sweet and fruity aromas.
- Spinach: It adds nutrients and vitamins, but can alter the taste. It is important to note that some ingredients can alter the taste of the watermelon, so it is best to use them in small amounts to avoid overpowering the taste of the watermelon. It is also important to clean and cut the fruit well before adding it to the juice to avoid any risk of bacterial contamination. Enjoy!
Note:
Watermelon has incredible benefits. However, it could be dangerous for people with irritable bowel syndrome because it contains FODMAPs which are fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols. Pregnant women are also advised not to consume it excessively because the water contained in the fruit could increase the waters during childbirth which is dangerous for the newborn. Regarding the conservation of watermelon juice, when it is freshly prepared, it must be consumed as soon as possible. This is to avoid the risk of microbial contamination. It is therefore preferable to consume it within 24 hours of its preparation. If you need to keep it longer, you must put it in the refrigerator. Be sure to put it in an airtight container to avoid any contact with air. It is also important to note that watermelon juice quickly loses its freshness and flavor, so it is preferable to consume it quickly after preparation. Do not hesitate to tell us in the comments if you prefer your watermelon juice without having passed it through a sieve when you make it with a mixer or blender. Personally, after mixing it correctly, I serve it in a glass with ice cubes and I enjoy it because in this case it still contains all its vitamins and other benefits.
