Watermelon Smoothie
This watermelon smoothie is an excellent choice if you’re looking to stay fresh and hydrated with its natural abundance of H2O. It has a mild but sweet and creamy flavor with the addition of bananas, Greek yogurt and a touch of honey.
Equipment
- blender
Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice - freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup seedless watermelon - cubed and frozen
- 4 frozen strawberries
- ⅓ cup frozen banana slices - about ½ of a banana
Instructions
- Add the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth.
- Transfer to a glass and serve. Garnish with a small watermelon triangle if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute with juice or milk but it might drown out the mild flavor of the watermelon.
- I add honey because it isn’t quite sweet enough for me without it but feel free to omit it if that’s not the case for you.
- I normally buy my fruit pre-frozen from the supermarket, but in the case of watermelon, I have yet to find a brand that uses nicely ripe, sweet, red watermelon. It’s usually lacking in color and flavor so I like to buy it fresh, especially when they are on sale, and then chop and freeze it myself.
