Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 1/2 cups fresh watermelon
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 2 frozen bananas
- Juice and zest of half a lime
Other
- 2 tbsp vegan yogurt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the watermelon is fresh and the strawberries and bananas are frozen. The lime should be juiced and zested.
- Blend Smoothie: Add the ingredients to a high-speed blender in the order listed, starting with the watermelon. Cover with the lid securely and blend on high speed, using the tamper to help push the fruit toward the blade for a smooth consistency.
- Serve: Pour the blended smoothie into glasses or for a fun presentation, into a hollowed-out watermelon rind. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use frozen fruits for a thicker, colder smoothie without added ice.
- The maple syrup can be adjusted or omitted based on your sweetness preference.
- Vegan yogurt adds creaminess, but you can substitute with any yogurt type.
- For extra texture, add a handful of spinach or protein powder.
- Make sure the blender is capable of handling frozen fruits for smooth results.
