Watermelon Smoothie

This smoothie is made by blending ripe watermelon flesh with ice to create a chilled, thick beverage. The mixture results in a vibrant pink drink with a smooth, velvety texture that highlights the sweet and herbaceous aroma of the melon. It is served cold, with a refreshing and slightly pulpy consistency.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon flesh, cubed seeded and deseeded
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • Vegetable peeler
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Use a vegetable peeler to remove any green rind from the watermelon slices, then cut the flesh into smaller chunks for easier blending.
  2. Add the watermelon chunks, ice cubes, and honey (if using) into a high-powered blender placed on a stable surface.
  3. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and velvety, with no visible chunks of fruit or ice.
  4. Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be thick, frothy, and uniformly pink. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more honey, then blend briefly to incorporate.
  5. Pour the smoothie into glasses, optionally garnishing with a small watermelon wedge or mint sprig, then serve immediately while cold.

Notes

Use very ripe watermelon for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness with honey as needed. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
