Refreshing Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie
-
Prep time: 5 minutes
-
Servings: 2 glasses
Ingredients
-
3 cups fresh watermelon, cubed (seedless is easiest)
-
1 cup frozen strawberries (using frozen fruit makes it thick and creamy without needing extra ice)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (adds a lovely creamy texture and a bit of protein)
-
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (brightens up the flavors)
-
Optional: A few mint leaves or a splash of honey/agave if you want it extra sweet.
Instructions
-
Prep: If you are using fresh watermelon, it helps to chill it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before blending, or simply add a handful of ice if you prefer a slushier consistency.
-
Combine: Place the watermelon, frozen strawberries, yogurt, and lime juice into your blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
-
Serve: Pour immediately into glasses. Garnish with a small slice of fresh watermelon or a sprig of mint if you’re feeling fancy.
Tip: If you find the texture is too thick, add a small splash of coconut water or plain water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
