Juice of the Week: Family Glow Juice (The Recipe That Helped Me Drop 5lbs)

If you’ve been feeling bloated, sluggish, or just “off,” this is your sign to try something simple, powerful, and delicious, this juice! And not just any juice, friend… this week’s Juice of the Week is an extra special one because it comes straight from my family recipe book.

Introducing the Family Glow Juice, a refreshing blend of juicy watermelon, sweet pineapple, and spicy ginger. It’s a juice I grew up watching my family make, and now I’m so excited to share it with you and make it part of your wellness journey.

I just used this exact recipe for my 48-hour weekend cleanse and baby, I dropped 5lbs of waste and toxins in just TWO days. My skin is glowing, my stomach is flatter, and I feel like a brand-new woman. Let’s get into it!

The Family Glow Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

• ½ Watermelon
• 2 Lemons (peeled)
• 2-3 Pineapples (medium to large)
• 2-3 inches Fresh Ginger (adjust for taste)

Instructions:

1. Wash all your fruits and peel the pineapple and ginger.
2. Chop everything into chunks that can fit in your juicer. I have the Nama J2 Cold Pressed Juicer.
3. Juice and enjoy immediately or store in airtight glass containers in the fridge for up to 72 hours.

Why This Juice Works So Well

This juice isn’t just pretty and tasty. It’s a powerhouse of hydration, digestion support, and inflammation-fighting ingredients. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each ingredient brings:

🍉 Watermelon

• Super hydrating (over 90% water!)
• Full of antioxidants like lycopene
• Great for flushing out your system and beating bloat
• Natural source of fiber and potassium

🍋 Lemon

• Packed with vitamin C for immune support and radiant skin
• Helps alkalize the body and improve liver function
• Naturally detoxifying and aids digestion
• Adds a bright, tangy flavor that lifts the juice!

🍍 Pineapple

• Contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps break down protein and supports digestion
• Rich in vitamin C for skin glow and immunity
• Sweet and delicious, balances out the ginger’s spice

🌱 Ginger

• Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
• Supports digestion and gut health
• Helps reduce nausea, bloating, and gas
• Adds that spicy kick that wakes up your system

Perfect for the Whole Family

The best part about the Family Glow Juice is that it’s truly a recipe for everyone. I’ve made this for my husband and my daughter, and they love it just as much as I do. You can easily tweak the ginger level to make it more kid-friendly, or add a squeeze of lemon for a little citrus twist.

If your kids are picky about veggies or you’re trying to sneak more fresh produce into your family’s diet, this juice is a great way to do it. It tastes like a tropical vacation in a cup — no sugar needed!

And because it’s naturally hydrating and full of nutrients, it’s a way to keep everyone feeling energized and nourished, without the junk.

My 48-Hour Juice Cleanse Results

I just wrapped up a 48-hour cleanse using only this juice (along with lots of water) and I feel GREAT!!

Let me be honest: I’ve done a lot of cleanses, but this one felt different. It was easy, I wasn’t starving, and I felt GOOD the entire time. No headaches, no crash, just steady energy, clear skin, and the best digestion I’ve had in weeks.

Here’s what I noticed after the 2-day cleanse:

• I lost 5lbs of bloat, waste, and toxins
• My stomach is visibly flatter
• My energy is UP, no coffee needed
• My cravings are gone (yes, even sugar!)
• My skin is noticeably brighter and more radiant

And yes, I’ve been going to the bathroom regularly, which is a huge win for me. If you’ve been dealing with constipation or irregular digestion, this juice will absolutely help reset your gut.

Why Batching Your Juice is a Game Changer

To make the cleanse easy, I batched my juices ahead of time. I picked up all my fruits and veggies Friday evening, stocked up on watermelon, pineapples, and fresh ginger. As soon as I got home, I washed and chopped everything and made all my juice for both Saturday and Sunday.

I used my Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer, and let me tell you, it made things SO much faster. I didn’t have to feed the fruit in slowly or worry about pulp issues. I literally loaded it up and let it do the work.

Why I Love the Nama J2 Cold Pressed Juicer:

• Big enough to handle a full half watermelon
• Cold press = keeps all nutrients intact
• Quiet, fast, and super easy to clean
• The juice stays fresh for up to 3 days

This juicer changed the game for me, and if you’re serious about juicing consistently, it’s a must-have. Use code JWP55 to get a $55 discount. Click HERE to grab it.

Pro Tips for Your Cleanse

If you’re thinking of doing a weekend reset like I did, here’s what worked best for me:

• Drink 16–20 oz of juice every 2–3 hours
• Start your day with hot lemon water or detox tea
• Drink at least 64 oz of water
• Rest when you need to, cleansing is detoxing
• Avoid processed foods, alcohol, or caffeine during and after your cleanse

Remember, this is about nourishing your body, not starving it.
