- 1/2 medium banana, frozen
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup cold water or dairy-free milk (optional, for blending)
Instructions
- Place the chilled or frozen watermelon cubes, frozen strawberries, frozen banana, and lime juice into your blender.
- Add 1/2 cup of cold water or dairy-free milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.

Notes
- For a thicker, colder smoothie, use all frozen watermelon cubes instead of fresh.
- If your fruit is not frozen, add 3-4 ice cubes to the blender for texture.
- This recipe is naturally sweet, but you can add a teaspoon of maple syrup if your watermelon is not very ripe.
