The Best Watermelon Smoothie Recipe
If you ask me, a watermelon smoothie is the ultimate quintessential summer drink! It offers the perfect blend of sweetness, freshness, and hydration.
This smoothie is perfect for when you have watermelon in the fridge that needs to be eaten! I make this often during the summer, when watermelon is in season and it is extra bright, juicy and sweet. Before the summer ends, I recommend freezing some watermelon to have these watermelon smoothies into fall!
This fruit smoothie recipe is easy to make and the ingredients are super versatile. You can enjoy it as a quick breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a hydrating post-workout drink! The whole family will love these delicious watermelon strawberry smoothies!
Ingredients Needed
- Watermelon: It is best to use seedless watermelon if possible! Or, try to remove the largest seeds before blending.
- Strawberries: I used frozen strawberries here. You can also use fresh strawberries, but you might want to add some ice cubes as well in that case!
- Greek Yogurt: Add some plain Greek yogurt to add protein and a bit of creaminess!
- Nut Milk: I like to add a nut milk here for the liquid. I used cashew milk, but you can really use any milk that you have on hand!
How to Make this watermelon smoothie
- Blend: Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Pulse for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Serve with slices of watermelon for garnish and enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- Add extra fruits! This watermelon strawberry smoothie can be mixed with some extra fruits like mango or pineapple!
- Make it vegan! Make this smoothie recipe into a vegan treat by replacing the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt. Or, you can omit the yogurt completely and add some coconut water instead for extra hydration!
- Add some herbs! The refreshing taste of watermelon goes perfectly with herbs like mint and basil. Of course, adding in some green herbs will change the color here, but the flavor will be delicious!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add vegetables to my watermelon smoothie?
Definitely! You can add spinach, kale or cucumber to this smoothie to add some extra nutrients. Blend the vegetables well to ensure a pleasant texture! Keep in mind that the color will be different!
Can I use frozen watermelon?
Definitely! You can add frozen watermelon cubes here if you have them on hand. It is a good idea to freeze some watermelon near the end of summer so that you can have a few watermelon smoothies later on!
How can I make my watermelon smoothie sweeter?
Depending on the watermelon you use, you might need a little extra sweetness! Add a natural sweetener like honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup to the mix.
How long can I store a watermelon smoothie?
I recommend drinking your watermelon smoothie right after you make it! However, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir before drinking it as separation might occur!
