Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh, cubed watermelon (frozen is best for texture)
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional boost)
Instructions
- Prepare your watermelon by cubing it and freezing the pieces for at least four hours, or use pre-frozen cubes.
- Place the frozen watermelon, frozen strawberries, water (or almond milk), and lime juice into your blender.
- Add the chia seeds now if you are using them for extra fiber.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Pour the refreshing fruit smoothie into glasses immediately and serve.
Notes
- For a creamier watermelon smoothie, substitute the water with dairy-free yogurt or Greek yogurt.
- If your fruit is not frozen, add 1 cup of ice cubes to achieve a cold, thick texture.
- This recipe is naturally sweet, but you can add a small drizzle of maple syrup if your watermelon is not ripe enough.
