The Best Healthiest Watermelon Smoothie Recipe
It gets hot where we live in the south. Like, really hot. So as soon as the warm weather starts creeping up, the drinks get colder. At the pool, barbecues, and any outdoor gathering, something icy to sip on is a must-have. Fresh and wonderfully frosty beverages are one of our favorite parts of summer. We’ve shared lots of tasty and easy recipes over the years for how to make all kinds of blended drinks… From Pina Coladas and Frozen Coconut Mojitos, to Frozen Lemonade with Pineapple and Coconut Choco Chai Smoothies. If you’ve got a blender then you’re having fun in the summer! And, considering that we tend to make a lot of these slushy beverages throughout the season, we thought we should make a cold treat that is delicious and healthy. This super simple and light Watermelon Smoothie recipe requires only 2 ingredients and ice! We use fresh watermelon plus strawberry yogurt for a creamy consistency and perfectly sweet fruity taste. It’s great for making low-calorie smoothies with no added sugar that adults and kids will love! Bust out that blender and make a batch of these refreshing Watermelon Smoothies this season.

How to Make a Watermelon Smoothie in 3 Easy Steps
First, make sure to get out all of the dark brown seeds from the watermelon cubes. The little white seeds are fine left in. (Buy a seedless watermelon to make it easy!) Then place the watermelon cubes and yogurt in the blender. Cover and puree until smooth. Taste to determine if sugar is needed. Lastly, add the ice cubes (and sugar if desired). Then cover and puree until smooth. Pour into four glasses and garnish. Serve immediately while the smoothie is ice cold.
