Tips for the Best Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

Freeze Your Watermelon First

Fresh watermelon contains a lot of water, which can make smoothies thin, so, freezing it beforehand creates a thick, frosty texture.

Use Ripe Fruit

The sweeter your fruit, the better your smoothie will taste.

Don’t Skip the Lime

I know it seems like a small addition, but the lime is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It balances the sweetness and makes the flavors taste brighter and fresher.

Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:

You could add spinach for a green smoothie boost.
Or use Greek yogurt for extra protein.
Add chia seeds or hemp hearts.
Or even swap the banana for mango.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh watermelon?
