Easy Watermelon Smoothie Recipe

Watermelon season is one of the best! We love to slice it up and serve it with our Grilled BBQ Chicken Breasts or serve it in our Mexican Fruit Salad.

Today, we have another way to serve a juicy watermelon. Our creamy Watermelon Smoothie is made with four simple ingredients and only takes minutes to make. 

This smoothie is full of vitamins and makes the perfect quick breakfast, after school snack, summer evening treat, or mid-day snack. As an added bonus, it is also gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, and plant-based. 

This Watermelon Smoothie recipe is a low calorie, sweet, and satisfying drink you will find yourself craving all summer long.

Can Watermelon be frozen for smoothies?

You can freeze watermelon to use for smoothies. Please note, after freezing watermelon, it does become mushy when you defrost it. Therefore, it works best when using the frozen watermelon in a smoothie. 

What fruit goes well with watermelon?

If you would like to add additional fruit to this smoothie, you can add coconut, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries. It’s not a fruit, but cucumber would also be delicious in this smoothie.

The Flavor and Recipe Variations

Instead of water, try adding coconut water. 

You can use lemon juice or orange juice instead of lime juice. 

Feel free to add your favorite smoothie mix-ins like chia seeds, ground flax seeds, greens (spinach, kale, etc.), cucumbers, and other fruit.

Serve: Serve it within 30 minutes of making it.

Store: Leftover will keep in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. 

Freeze: I like to freeze individual servings of smoothie in freezer-safe Ziploc bags. The night before, just pop them in the fridge, and in the morning, your smoothie will be ready for you!

Ages 6-8: This is a great recipe to let them try on their own. Teach them how to use turn on and off the blender.
