Ingredients

2 cups ripe watermelon, cubed and seeds removed

1 banana, preferably frozen for extra creaminess

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup coconut water (or regular water)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into manageable cubes, discarding any seeds. If you haven’t done so already, freeze the banana for at least a couple of hours before using to achieve a creamier texture.

Combine Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the watermelon cubes, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, coconut water, honey (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

Blend: Blend on high until all ingredients are smooth and well combined, about 30-60 seconds. If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut water or regular water until desired consistency is achieved.

Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or lime juice for a zingy flavor.

Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor and a pop of color.

Enjoy: Enjoy your Refreshing Watermelon Bliss Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and freshness!
