Description

Refreshing watermelon strawberry smoothie brings summer’s coolest sensation straight to your blender. Crisp fruit flavors blend seamlessly, creating a hydrating drink perfect for beating heat and satisfying sweet cravings you’ll absolutely love.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Fruits:

  • 2.5 cups watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup strawberries

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup orange juice

Garnish:

  • Fresh mint (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash strawberries, delicately removing green tops and stems to ensure pristine fruit pieces.
  2. Slice watermelon into manageable sections, carefully strip away the tough outer rind, and chop into generous chunks.
  3. Transfer watermelon cubes, cleaned strawberries, and vibrant orange juice into a powerful blender, creating a fruity foundation.
  4. Activate blender on high speed, transforming ingredients into a silky, uniform liquid with no visible fruit chunks.
  5. Introduce ice cubes to the mixture, pulsing until the smoothie develops a frosty, velvety consistency and reaches desired thickness.
  6. Elegantly transfer the chilled beverage into tall glasses, enhancing presentation with optional fresh mint sprigs for a sophisticated touch.

Notes

  • Swap orange juice with coconut water for a lighter, tropical twist that reduces sugar content.
  • Freeze pre-cut watermelon and strawberries beforehand to create an ultra-creamy, chilled smoothie without diluting flavors with additional ice.
  • Include a small piece of fresh ginger or a handful of spinach to boost nutritional value and add a subtle, unexpected depth to the smoothie’s flavor profile.
  • Choose ripe, sweet fruits for natural sweetness, eliminating the need for added sugars and creating a more wholesome drink.
