What are real veggies then? Maybe you don't need them all that much? Do you like celery? Do you consider cucumber a fruit too? Do you like carrots? I always thought that fruits grow on trees, and that's how you know they are fruits and not vegetables.

As for watermelon, it's about combining foods for better digestion. Melons are best eaten on their own. I just took a guess that pasteurized juice won't combine as well as freshly squeezed juice. I've seen people make smoothies out of watermelon with some other fruit, so it's up to you if you want to do that. Raw foods tend to combine better, no matter what combination, but some foods still don't go together too well. Fruit is always best eaten on its own, although you can combine different types of fruit. Some of the veggies might be fruits in reality, but they still won't combine well with sweet fruit. Leafy greens go good with everything. Some people say not to combine acid and sweet fruits either, but in my experience, they are digested fine. Google food combining chart.
