Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- ½ cup coconut water (or almond milk for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (for a zesty twist)
- ½ cup ice cubes (omit if using frozen fruit)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and hull strawberries, then cut watermelon into cubes.
- Blend: Add liquid (coconut water or almond milk) to the blender first. Then add Greek yogurt, watermelon, strawberries, lime juice, and honey.
- Add Ice: If using fresh fruit, add ice cubes to make the smoothie colder and thicker.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the texture is silky smooth.
- Taste & Adjust: Add more sweetener or lime juice if needed. If too thick, add extra coconut water.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into glasses, garnish with mint or chia seeds, and enjoy!
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen watermelon and strawberries instead of fresh.
- For added protein, mix in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or a frozen banana.
- Make it tropical by adding pineapple or mango chunks.
- To store, refrigerate in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
