Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled or frozen
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup coconut water or plain water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
- 1/2 to 1 cup ice cubes (adjust to preference)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
- Optional: fresh mint leaves or a handful of strawberries
Instructions
- Add cubed watermelon and banana to a blender. If using frozen watermelon, reduce or skip the ice.
- Pour in coconut water and lime or lemon juice.
- Add ice cubes and sweetener if desired.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.
- Taste and adjust lime juice or sweetener if needed.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with mint if desired.
Notes
- Frozen watermelon makes the smoothie colder and slushier without extra ice.
- Swap banana for mango or avocado for a banana-free version.
- Add chia or flaxseeds for extra fiber and nutrients.
- Best enjoyed fresh; store in the fridge up to 24 hours if needed.
- Use a strainer if you prefer a smoother texture.
