    What is Watermelon Smoothie?

    Watermelon Smoothie is a sweet, healthy, and refreshing smoothie drink loaded with fresh flavors. It is usually made with frozen watermelon, strawberries, almond milk, yogurt, and sweetener. This Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie is one of the best and most simple drinks to serve for a quick and filling breakfast or to beat the heat in summer.

    As you know Watermelon is high water content fruit and believed it is perfect for only making juices or Aguas Frescas. But did you know they can also be turned into a creamy smoothie? Yes, it can be. Choosing the right ingredients, especially the more frozen fruits is the secret trick behind making this incredible thick smoothie.

    So now apart from watermelon juice, watermelon infused water, and watermelon Agua Fresca, you can also make a filling Watermelon Smoothie. So let's see how to make this Watermelon Smoothie in the following sections.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients you will need to make this Watermelon Smoothie is basic fruits and some pantry elements. Let's see what are they below.

    • Watermelon - Frozen strawberries cut into small cubes. It is loaded with dietary fibers, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
    • Strawberry - Adds flavor that compliments the watermelon
    • Milk - I have used almond milk, but feel free to use the milk that is suitable for you
    • Yogurt - Thick yogurt like greek yogurt delivers the thickness and creaminess to your smoothie but plain regular yogurt also works perfectly fine
    • Sweetener - Honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, brown sugar, agave, or stevia for a little bit of sweetness

    How to make Watermelon Smoothie?

    The recipe I have shared here is Watermelon Smoothie made with frozen watermelon, strawberries, almond milk, yogurt, and sweetener. It is one of the best healthy smoothies and you can make it in under 5 minutes if you have frozen watermelon and strawberries handy.

    Following are the high-level instructions to make this recipe but for detailed step-by-step instructions with photos and video, please check out the recipe card below.

    • Add - Add the frozen watermelon, strawberries, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and almond milk into the blender jar
    • Blend - Close the lid and blend until everything turns smooth on the blender
    • Pour - Open the lid and pour the refreshing Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie into a serving glass
    • Serve - Serve this refreshing Watermelon Smoothie for breakfast or as a mid-day snack or as a summer drink to quench your thirst

    Tips

    • Add Frozen Fruits - Watermelon is naturally a high water content fruit that will turn watery once blended. So I highly recommend using frozen watermelon to achieve a thicker smoothie. I have also used frozen strawberries that perfectly pair with the taste of watermelon.
    • Other Fruits - You could also add banana, mango, and pineapple for additional flavors. Since I wanted the flavor of watermelon to be more prevalent, I added just strawberries. Strawberries usually do not beat the flavor of watermelon and they both work well together
    • Liquids - You can use oat milk, almond milk, or regular whole milk or water as a liquid for blending the smoothie
    • Yogurt - Thick yogurt like greek yogurt deliver a rich, thick, and creamy texture to your smoothie. Not only that, but it is also a good source of probiotics that is good for digestion
    • Sweetener - Feel free to use sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, agave, stevia, brown sugar, or coconut sugar that are handy for you. Even though the watermelons and strawberries are naturally sweet they may turn bland once blended. So I recommend adding a little bit of sweetness to your drink

    What fruits go well with Watermelon?

    Fruits like bananas, strawberries, mango, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, peaches, and raspberries pair perfectly well with watermelon.
