Refreshing Summer Fruit Smoothie & Platter

Refreshing Summer Fruit Smoothie & Platter

Ingredients

  • Watermelon: 3 cups (cubed and deseeded)

  • Kiwi: 2 whole fruits (peeled and sliced)

  • Mango: 1 ripe mango (cut into a grid pattern or cubes)

  • Ice cubes: A handful (optional, for extra chill)

  • Fresh mint leaves: For an optional garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Fruits

  • Wash all your fruits thoroughly under cold water.

  • Slice the watermelon into triangular wedges for the platter, saving 2 cups of the inner red flesh for blending.

  • Peel the kiwis and slice them into neat rounds.

  • Cut the cheeks off the mango, score the flesh into a grid pattern without cutting through the skin, and press the back to push the cubes outward.

Step 2: Blend the Drink

  • Place the 2 cups of watermelon cubes into a blender.

  • Add a few ice cubes if you prefer your drink frosty.

  • Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and frothy. Because watermelon is naturally juicy, you do not need to add water or extra sugar.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

  • Pour the fresh watermelon juice into a tall glass.

  • Arrange the remaining watermelon triangles, kiwi slices, and the mango half beautifully on a clean white plate next to the glass.

  • Garnish with fresh mint if desired, and enjoy immediately while fresh and chilled!
