Substitutions
:
You can use fresh watermelon but you may find you need to add ice to thicken it.
If your watermelon isn't very sweet, you may want to add some honey or sugar to sweeten your smoothie slightly.
I like to add strawberries because watermelon has such a mild flavor, but you can use all watermelon or add in another berry.
Watermelon juice adds great flavor but can be hard to find. Feel free to swap for another red juice, milk or even water.
Variations:
Add herbs.
Maybe it sounds weird, but a few fresh mint or basil leaves gives this refreshing smoothie a delicious, herby flavor twist.
Sweeten it.
Some frozen watermelon isn't super sweet so you may want to compensate a bit with a drizzle of honey.
Thicken it up.
Make this breakfast smoothie more filling with a handful of old-fashioned oats, ground flax or hemp hearts.
Use a different liquid.
Watermelon juice adds great flavor, but you can use milk, coconut water and strawberry juice are also great options.
Make it green.
Incorporate a veggie with a handful of fresh baby spinach. The color won't be as pretty but the flavor won't be affected.
Boost the nutrition.
Add some extra protein and fiber with a sprinkle of chia seeds or protein powder.
