Ingredients
Fruits
- 8 cups cubed watermelon – seedless, fresh or frozen for a frostier smoothie
- 12 ounces frozen strawberries (about 3 cups)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 lemon or juice of 2 limes)
Optional
- Sweetener of choice (if fruit isn’t perfectly ripe)
- 3-5 mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Place the cubed watermelon into a blender and blend until smooth, reducing it to approximately 5 cups of juice or puree.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Serve or Store: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Alternatively, refrigerate the smoothie for up to one day; it may lose some of its freshness but will still taste refreshing.
Notes
- This smoothie tastes best when served right away but can be refrigerated for up to one day without significant loss of quality.
- For an extra refreshing touch, add 3-5 mint leaves during blending.
- If your fruit is not very ripe or sweet, you may add a sweetener of your choice such as honey, agave syrup, or sugar to enhance the flavor.
