- 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

Absolutely yes. But adding banana may deliver the dominant flavor to this smoothie but if you really love the flavor you can always feel free to add it.
If you are making juice, then the answer is yes, as we filter or strain once it is blended. But here in this case for a smoothie, I recommend removing the seeds while you are about to freeze them or you can also use seedless watermelon to save some time.
