Description
A refreshing and hydrating watermelon coconut smoothie that combines the natural sweetness of watermelon with tropical coconut water and creamy Greek yogurt for the perfect summer drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups seedless watermelon chunks
- 1 cup pure coconut water
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare watermelon: Cut the watermelon into chunks and remove any seeds you find
- Combine ingredients: Add watermelon, coconut water, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and lime juice to blender
- Blend mixture: Blend until smooth and creamy, adding ice if you want a chilled effect
- Taste and adjust: Sample the smoothie and add more sweetener if needed
- Serve immediately: Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with mint leaves or watermelon slices
Notes
- Choose a ripe watermelon by looking for a yellow spot on the bottom and listening for a hollow sound when tapped
- Freeze watermelon chunks ahead of time to create a thicker, more ice cream-like consistency
- Start with less sweetener and gradually add more, as watermelon sweetness varies by season
- Smoothie can be stored in refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur – simply stir or re-blend before serving
