Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh, cubed watermelon (frozen works best for texture)
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup water or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
Instructions
- Place the cubed watermelon, frozen strawberries, water or coconut water, and lime juice into your blender.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- If you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, add the ice cubes now and blend again until incorporated.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass immediately and serve.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, substitute the water with 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt or vegan yogurt.
- If your watermelon is not very sweet, you can add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, though this recipe focuses on natural sweetness.
- To make a Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie, use 2 cups of watermelon and 1 cup of frozen strawberries.
- For a Watermelon Banana Smoothie variation, replace the strawberries with one small frozen banana.
