Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh watermelon, cubed (frozen works best for creaminess)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup vegan yogurt (or Greek yogurt for non-vegan)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup water or coconut water (adjust for desired thickness)
Instructions
- Prepare your fruit: Cube the watermelon and freeze it for at least 2 hours if you are not using pre-frozen watermelon. Measure out the frozen strawberries.
- Place the cubed watermelon, frozen strawberries, vegan yogurt, and lime juice into your blender.
- Pour in the water or coconut water. Start with 1/2 cup.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour immediately into glasses and serve this light and cool drink.
Notes
- For an extra boost of protein, add 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder before blending.
- If you want a lower-calorie fruit smoothie, use only watermelon and skip the strawberries, increasing the watermelon quantity slightly.
- To achieve a restaurant-style creamy texture, ensure at least one fruit component is frozen.
