Ingredients
Fruit
- 8 cups cubed watermelon (seedless, fresh or frozen for a frostier smoothie)
- 12 ounces frozen strawberries (about 3 cups)
Other
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes)
- Optional: sweetener of choice, if fruit isn’t perfectly ripe
- Optional: 3-5 mint leaves
Instructions
- Blend Watermelon: Place the cubed watermelon into a blender and blend until smooth. The watermelon should reduce to about 5 cups of liquid, forming the smoothie base.
- Add Strawberries and Lemon Juice: Add the frozen strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the smoothie immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate it for up to 1 day if you prefer it chilled or need to prepare in advance.
Notes
- Use seedless watermelon for the smoothest texture and convenience.
- Frozen strawberries help keep the smoothie cool and add thickness without watering it down.
- Adjust sweetness with your favorite natural sweetener like honey, agave, or stevia if your fruit is not ripe enough.
- Adding mint leaves brings a refreshing, aromatic twist to the smoothie.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
