    Watermelon Smoothie Recipe

    If you love smoothies, you're going to like this strawberry watermelon smoothie. It reminds me of summer.

    I've included some additional add-ins for you below, if you want to thicken this watermelon smoothie, or simply add additional healthy ingredients to make it more of a power smoothie.

    What fruits mix well with Watermelons?

    There are a variety of fruits that mix well with watermelon. Strawberries, Bananas, Blackberries, Mango, and Pineapple are a few that we love.

    We've tried Kiwi and Oranges mixed with fresh watermelon and loved those too.

    Do I use fresh or frozen watermelon to make a watermelon smoothie?

    You can use fresh or frozen watermelon to make smoothies. We recommend that only one of the two fruits be frozen. Our favorite way is to use frozen watermelon and fresh strawberries.

    If you use both frozen watermelon and frozen strawberries, you'll need to add more orange juice to your blender jar otherwise the jar will jam up.

    Ingredients in a Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

    There are only three ingredients in this strawberry watermelon smoothie: strawberries, watermelon, and orange juice.

    Either use frozen strawberries or add ice in at the end to make it thicker.

    How to tell if watermelon is ripe?

    A ripe watermelon will have a hallow sound when you tap on it. Avoid soft or squishy watermelons and watermelons that make a dull sound when you tap on them.

    Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie Add-ins:

    -1 scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder

    - ½ cup berries

    - 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

    - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

    - 1 tablespoon hemp hearts

    Feel free to add in your favorite smoothie add-in ingredients.

    Tips for making smoothies:

    Always put the liquid into the blender first. This will help keep the blender from jamming up.

    Omit the ice if you are using frozen ingredients, like frozen strawberries. Then add ice until you get your desired consistency.

    If your smoothie calls for two or more types of fruit, don’t use all frozen fruit otherwise the liquid will freeze the fruit and the blender will jam up.

    If you like a thinner smoothie, add more water, milk, or dairy-free milk. For this watermelon smoothie, add more orange juice.

    If you like a thicker smoothie, add more fresh or frozen fruit or yogurt. Don’t add more ice.

    For a sweeter smoothie, add additional sweet fruits or add a tablespoon of honey, agave, or maple syrup. The fruits and orange juice should be sweet enough.

    For this strawberry watermelon smoothie recipe, you can use fresh or frozen strawberries and fresh watermelon.

    Just make sure to add in enough orange juice to get the smoothie consistency.
