🔪 How to Make a Watermelon Smoothie

Cut up 3 cups of seedless watermelon, add it to a bowl, and place it in the freezer for 1 hour.

Add the frozen watermelon to a blender.

Add in the frozen strawberries, unsweetened cashew milk, lime juice, and honey (or agave).

Blend until well combined, thick, and creamy.

Serve immediately.

💡 Tips for Making the Best Smoothie

Making a smoothie is about as easy as it comes. Just add the ingredients to a blender and let it go. Just keep a few of these things in mind to make sure it's perfect every time:

• The texture and the frostiness come from frozen fruit, not ice. Ice will water down the flavors.

• Make sure you balance out the sweet and tangy flavors. If you're using citrus, like lemon or lime, you'll want to add a little honey or agave to give it the best balance or flavor.

• In order for it to be smooth enough to drink through a straw, you need to use a high speed blender to get the consistency just right. You can also use a food processor with a blade attachment if you don't have a blender.

☑️ Storage Instructions

You'll want it nice and frosty, so you'll want to serve it immediately after preparing it.

If you want to make it before a workout, just prepare it and sit the blender container and all in the freezer (for up to an hour). Then give it another blend to loosen it up.

🍴 What to Serve with Fruit Smoothies

If you want to turn your smoothie into more of a dessert, you could top it with a dollop of homemade whipped cream. If you're serving it for breakfast or snack, here are some other options:

Fresh fruit salad: Fresh berries, pineapple, and kiwi all pair well with this smoothie. Add them to a bowl with a drizzle of sugar-free honey for a simple fruit salad.

Greek yogurt parfait: Keep the fruit flavors going with this tasty homemade Granola Parfait.

Cheese and crackers: For a sweet and salty combo, enjoy your smoothie with a simple side of cheese and crackers or pita chips.

Vegetable sticks with hummus: For a heartier snack, you can serve a smoothie with crunchy veggies like cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers with this homemade Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.

Muffins or scones: Pair your watermelon smoothie with homemade, sugar-free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins or gluten-free Blueberry Scones.

Avocado toast: Top whole-grain toast with mashed avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt. It's just enough of a savory flavor to balance the sweetness of the smoothie.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Chia seeds: Add even more nutrition with a sprinkling of chia seeds.

• Spinach or kale: Sneak in some leafy greens for extra vitamins and minerals without altering the taste significantly.

• Protein powder: Make it a meal replacement by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

• Minty fresh: Infuse a burst of freshness by tossing in a few mint leaves before blending. You only need one or two leaves.

• Tropical twist: Add a splash of coconut milk (instead of cashew milk) and a few frozen pineapple chunks to give it a tropical flavor.

• Berries: Mix in a medley of berries, like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. They all pair perfectly with watermelon.

• Cucumber: Blend in some peeled cucumber slices for added hydration.

What Can I Add to Make the Smoothie More Filling?

If you want the smoothie to help you make it between meals, add a scoop of protein powder or a big scoop of Greek yogurt.

Why is My Smoothie Not as Sweet as I Expected?

Fruit is sweeter at certain times during its peak season. If you find that it's not as sweet as you'd like, just add more honey.

How Can I Use Leftover Smoothies?

Here's a great trick! Pour any extra smoothie into ice cube trays to create smoothie cubes. Once frozen, add them to a sealed bag. You can add the fruity ice cubes to lemonade or water to make flavored water. You can also just toss them back in the blender to make another smoothie.

How Do I Prevent a Smoothie From Separating Over Time?

Separation is natural and expected the longer it sits. If this happens, you can stir or shake the smoothie before serving to recombine the ingredients.
