Ingredients
Scale
4 cups frozen watermelon chunks
1/2 cup cold water or coconut water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 cup frozen strawberries (optional)
Instructions
Place the frozen watermelon chunks, water or coconut water, and lime juice into your blender.
Add the frozen strawberries if you are using them for extra flavor and color.
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 smoothie into glasses immediately.
Serve right away for the best cold, refreshing texture.
Notes
For a thicker, colder smoothie, use only frozen watermelon and skip adding extra ice.
If you need a sweeter drink, add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey, though ripe watermelon is usually sweet enough.
To make this a vegan watermelon smoothie, confirm your liquid base is water or plant-based milk/coconut water.
This recipe is naturally low calorie and great for hydration.
