Ingredients
- 3 cups ripe watermelon, diced and chilled
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe banana, peeled (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure your watermelon is diced and chilled. If using fresh strawberries or banana, consider freezing them for at least an hour beforehand for optimal texture.
- 2. Add Liquids to Blender: Pour the milk and fresh lime juice into your blender jar first. This helps with smoother blending.
- 3. Layer Fruits: Add the diced watermelon, banana, and finally the frozen strawberries to the blender.
- 4. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on a low setting, gradually increasing to high, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Use a tamper if necessary.
- 5. Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If not sweet enough, add optional honey or maple syrup and re-blend briefly.
- 6. Serve Immediately: Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh mint if desired, and enjoy your delicious creamy watermelon smoothie with frozen strawberry right away!
