Instructions

  • Place watermelon and strawberries in a blender and blend at the fastest speed for about 30 seconds.

Enjoy!
Tip

Using both frozen watermelon and strawberries will help give the final blend a very smooth consistency. Just keep in mind that fresh fruit has a more pronounced sweetness than frozen fruit.

Tip

Make sure to use a perfectly ripe watermelon for your smoothie to ensure that the drink has the most pronounced flavours possible. If you prefer less intense watermelon flavours, you can adjust the level of ripeness to suit your taste.

Tip

A watermelon smoothie is best enjoyed immediately to fully appreciate the fresh flavours and the coolness of the frozen berries. If you have leftover watermelon, consider decorating the smoothie with some small watermelon slices.

Try making small adjustments

While our watermelon smoothie recipe is delicious as is, feel free to get creative and make minor adjustments to suit your taste preferences.

If you prefer a silky-smooth consistency, consider adding milk. It not only introduces a different kind of sweetness that softens the fruity flavours but also enhances the texture, giving your smoothie a velvety-smooth consistency that's visually appealing. For an even creamier touch, try adding yoghurt.

Two-ingredient smoothies are an excellent base for customisation. A splash of lime adds a zing to the flavour, while its acidity helps enhance the other vibrant flavours. Experiment with various tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, and mango to discover a range of sweet and exotic flavours.
