Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 2 cups Watermelon Fresh, ripe watermelon flesh
  • 1 cup Frozen Strawberries Pre-sliced for easy blending
  • 1 medium Banana Freeze for best texture
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Yogurt Unsweetened for perfect texture
  • 1 medium Lime Juice and zest
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup Optional, adjust to taste
For Serving
  • 1 piece Mini Watermelon Hollowed out for presentation

Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting a ripe watermelon into manageable chunks and removing any seeds. Scoop out around 2 cups of the watermelon flesh and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the chilled watermelon chunks, about 1 cup of frozen strawberries, the frozen banana, 1/2 cup of vegan yogurt, and the juice and zest of one lime. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. After blending, check the thickness. If it's too thick, add a small amount of cold water, starting with 1/4 cup. Blend for another 10-15 seconds until desired consistency is achieved.
  4. Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. For fun, serve it in a hollowed-out mini watermelon and garnish with a slice of lime or extra berries if desired.
