Watermelon Smoothie

Perfect for hot summer days, this refreshing watermelon smoothie is a treat for your taste buds! With a mix of sweet and tangy flavors, it’s the ideal way to beat the heat. And the best part?

It’s incredibly easy to make, blending together watermelon, Greek yogurt, and frozen fruits in just a few minutes!

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups cubed seedless watermelon
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup frozen berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1/4 cup coconut water
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Add the cubed watermelon, Greek yogurt, pineapple chunks, frozen berries, honey, and salt to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Add the ice and coconut water to the blender and blend until the ice is crushed and the smoothie is thick and frosty.

Taste and adjust the sweetness or consistency as needed. You can add more honey if you prefer it sweeter, or more coconut water if you want a thinner smoothie.

Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Serve immediately and divide among 5 people.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe, and sweet seedless watermelon for the best flavor. You can also use other melons like cantaloupe or honeydew if you prefer.

If using frozen berries, make sure to thaw them first before adding to the blender.

For a thicker smoothie, add more Greek yogurt or a scoop of your favorite protein powder. You can also add a few slices of fresh pineapple or berries to the blender for extra flavor and texture.

Experiment with different types of milk or yogurt, like coconut milk or almond yogurt, for a dairy-free or vegan version.

If you’re short on time, prepare the smoothie ingredients ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer, then blend when you’re ready. For a refreshing twist, try adding a handful of spinach or kale leaves to the blender for a green smoothie packed with nutrients.

Blender type matters, so use a high-speed blender like Vitamix or Blendtec to get the smoothest texture.
