Drinking fruit and vegetable juices is a great way to include several nutrients in your diet at once. It is easy to make and you can always carry it with you. In the ever-changing world of food trends, there is always something new and unusual happening. Recently, the trend of consuming okra (bhindi) water came into existence for its health benefits. However, this supposed “health” drink got a new twist when it was mixed with watermelon juice. Yes, you read that right! A video of watermelon okra water recipe is doing the rounds on the internet.

The video has been shared by digital creator Shanique Simpson (@shaniquethekreativevegan) on her Instagram handle. The video begins with Simpson washing a large watermelon. Next, she takes out a slice of the watermelon and “taste tests” it. After removing large pieces of watermelon pulp, the user juices it. Meanwhile, she takes four ladyfingers and cuts them into small pieces and puts them in a glass. This is where the twist happens – the user then pours freshly squeezed watermelon juice into the glass filled with ladyfingers.
Simon said he let the watermelon okra juice sit for “12 to 24 hours.” This time allowed the okra nutrients and stickiness to remain in the juice. The result? A beautiful colored watermelon juice with the smoothness of the okra. Simon also suggested adding a little lemon juice if the watermelon okra juice seems too “sticky” to you.
