Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen watermelon chunks
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water (adjust for desired thickness)
- 4–5 ice cubes (optional, if watermelon is not fully frozen)
Instructions
- Place the frozen watermelon chunks, lime juice, optional sweetener, and water into your blender.
- Start blending on a low speed, then increase to high speed.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately and serve cold for the best refreshment.
Notes
- For a low calorie watermelon smoothie, skip the added sweetener. Watermelon is naturally sweet.
- If you want a thicker, almost sorbet-like texture, use only frozen watermelon and skip the ice cubes.
- Add 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries or a small frozen banana for a Watermelon Banana Smoothie variation.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and dairy free.
