Tips for how to make this Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie:
You can make as much smoothie as your blender can hold, or you can par back a little for a single serving. First, split your watermelon open, and scoop out enough to fill a Vita-Mix blender, or other high speed blender.
You will have about 9 cups of watermelon pieces, and 6 cups of watermelon purée after blending. Nine cups of watermelon is about 3 pounds. The watermelon that I bought weighed 18 pounds, so I’ll be making this everyday this week!

After blending the watermelon, add the lemon juice and frozen strawberries to the blender. Blend until smooth, and drink with great enthusiasm right away!
Here’s to the long, hot days of summer – I’m going to enjoy every minute while it lasts!
INGREDIENTS
- 9 cups watermelon pieces, seedless
- 12 ounces of frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- optional sweetener if your fruit isn’t perfectly ripe
- Place the watermelon pieces into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the strawberries and lemon juice and blend again until smooth.
- Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
NOTES
This smoothie tastes best right away, but it will be almost as good refrigerated for up to one day.
