Description
A super-refreshing, naturally sweet smoothie that blends juicy watermelon with tangy strawberries and a splash of lemon for bright, summery flavor.
Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed seedless watermelon (fresh or frozen for a frostier smoothie)
- 12 oz frozen strawberries (about 3 cups)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon or 2 limes)
- Optional: sweetener of choice if fruit isn’t perfectly ripe
- Optional: 3–5 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Add watermelon cubes to a blender and blend until smooth (it should reduce to around 5 cups).
- Add frozen strawberries and lemon juice; blend again until completely smooth.
- Taste and, if needed, blend in a touch of sweetener or mint. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Notes
- For an extra-cold, slushy texture, freeze the watermelon cubes first.
- Swap lemon with lime for a different citrus vibe.
- If your blender struggles, add 1–2 tablespoons water to get things moving.
- Garnish with fresh mint or a squeeze of citrus just before serving.
