Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen watermelon chunks
- 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
- Place the frozen watermelon chunks, cold water or coconut water, and lime juice into your blender.
- Add the optional sweetener if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- 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 immediately into glasses.
- Serve this hydrating drink right away for the best texture and refreshment.
Notes
- For an extra cold and thick smoothie, ensure your watermelon is fully frozen before blending. This technique creates the best texture.
- If you want a low calorie watermelon drink, skip the optional sweetener. Watermelon is naturally sweet.
- To make this a vegan watermelon smoothie, use maple syrup instead of honey, or omit sweetener entirely.
- For a watermelon banana smoothie variation, add half a frozen banana to the blender.
