Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon chunks (fresh or frozen), bite-sized
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Dairy & Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut/almond yogurt for vegan option)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (adjust based on desired thickness and if using frozen fruit)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish and freshness)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cut fresh watermelon into bite-sized chunks if using fresh. Rinse raspberries thoroughly. If using frozen berries, do not thaw; just adjust the amount of ice accordingly.
- Combine Ingredients in a Blender: Add watermelon chunks, raspberries, Greek yogurt, and honey into your blender. Add ice cubes if you want a chilled and thicker smoothie.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy, ensuring no large fruit pieces remain.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and add more honey for sweetness or additional ice cubes for chill and texture if desired. Blend briefly again to mix.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves, whole raspberries, or a thin slice of watermelon on the rim for presentation and extra flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe and fresh fruits for a richer, more flavorful smoothie.
- Freeze watermelon chunks and raspberries ahead of time for a naturally icy smoothie without extra ice.
- Blend softer ingredients and liquids first, then add ice to aid smooth blending and texture.
- Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for a few minutes to keep the smoothie cooler longer.
- Add fresh herbs like mint at the end to avoid overpowering the natural sweetness.
