It is watermelon season and by far my favorite time of the year! The weather is hot and humid around here, but knowing that this is not gonna last forever, I love it! That’s why I like to make hydrating drinks like this Easy Watermelon Smoothie Recipe.
But honestly, to me – watermelon is a great fruit to enjoy year round, if you can find it at the supermarket.
WHY MAKE A WATERMELON SMOOTHIE?
Watermelon it the perfect fruit for summer. Juicy and refreshing, perfect for on the go snack. We go to picnics with my son all the time and I always pack a container with sliced watermelon. It helps us beat the heat.
I also been making myself a watermelon smoothie to pour into my favorite on the go cup and take in the car. This is why today I’m sharing this Easy Watermelon Smoothie Recipe with you.

Watermelon is also perfect for drinks, salads and smoothies. You may be asking yourself, can watermelon be used in a smoothie? Absolutely! It is perfect for summer smoothies. You may use it fresh or frozen.
It is great for salads and appetizers, too!
Watermelon is a perfect ingredient for on-the-go meals and snacks!
- fresh watermelon slices
- frozen strawberries
- hemp seeds (or chia seeds), they add thickness and protein
- Almond milk – it adds some thickness as well. This is a watermelon smoothie with milk.
- lime juice – adds a little zing
- sweetener – I never use a sweetener, but I understand that some people would like their smoothies more sweet. Use a sweetener of your choice.
