Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 medium banana, peeled
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 2 cups watermelon chunks
- 1 navel orange, cut in half
- ½ lime
Dairy
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In the base of a high-speed blender, add the peeled banana, frozen strawberries, watermelon chunks, and Greek yogurt. This forms the smooth, creamy base of your smoothie.
- Add Citrus Juice: Squeeze the juice from the orange halves and the half lime directly into the blender. You can do this by holding the fruit over the blender so the juice falls inside, adding fresh, tangy flavor that balances the sweetness.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid and blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and well combined, ensuring no chunks remain.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately and enjoy this nourishing, hydrating drink fresh.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh to chill the smoothie without diluting the flavor with ice.
- Peel the banana before blending to avoid any bitter taste from the skin.
- For a thinner consistency, add a splash of water, coconut water, or milk of choice before blending.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
