It’s a gentle yet deeply effective way to support detoxification, reduce inflammation, and bring a cooling calm to the entire system.
At Cape Town Retreats, we love serving this juice in the mornings or after movement, especially in the warmer months when the body naturally craves water-rich fruits and cooling, anti-inflammatory support.

Why Our Pink Juice Is a Cellular Cleanser
Watermelon might seem simple, but it’s packed with healing properties that work synergistically to support whole-body wellness. Here's what makes it so special:
🍉 Watermelon
Rich in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, vitamin A, and the powerful antioxidant lycopene, watermelon is far more than just a refreshing treat. It rehydrates the body on a cellular level, replaces depleted electrolytes, and delivers gentle carbohydrates for energy restoration.
This fruit is known to:
• Lower blood pressure
• Reduce inflammation
• Flush out water retention (edema)
• Support healthy weight loss
• Protect against heart disease and age-related eye disorders
• Alleviate symptoms of depression
• Boost the immune system
• Strengthen vision and support eye health
• Shield cells from oxidative stress
And despite its sweet taste, watermelon contains half the sugar of an apple, making it a surprisingly smart choice for low-sugar cleansing.
Nutrients in Every Sip
Watermelon juice is naturally rich in:
Vitamin C – immune support, tissue repair
Potassium – electrolyte balance, blood pressure regulation
Calcium – bone health, nerve transmission
