Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh, cubed watermelon (frozen preferred for texture)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare your watermelon by cubing it. For the best cold and creamy fruit smoothies texture, freeze the watermelon cubes for at least two hours before blending.
- Place the frozen watermelon cubes, frozen strawberries, cold water or coconut water, and lime juice into your blender.
- Add the optional sweetener if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more water.
- Pour the watermelon smoothie immediately into glasses. Serve this thirst-quenching smoothie right away.
Notes
- For an extra creamy fruit smoothie, add 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt or a small piece of frozen banana.
- To make this a nutrient dense smoothie, add one tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds before blending.
- If you do not have frozen fruit, add 1 cup of ice cubes to ensure your drink is cold and refreshing.
