Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups fresh watermelon Chunked and seeds removed
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 2 whole frozen bananas
  • 1 whole lime (juice and zest of half) Adds flavor and complements sweetness
  • 2 tbsp vegan yogurt For a creamy texture
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup Optional for added sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chunk your fresh watermelon into small pieces and remove any seeds.
  2. In a blender, add the watermelon chunks followed by the frozen strawberries and bananas.
Blending
  1. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mix and add the zest.
  2. Add the vegan yogurt and maple syrup (if desired).
  3. Blend everything together until you achieve a silky consistency.
  4. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or more lime juice.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity with more syrup or lime juice as needed.
Serving
  1. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a slice of watermelon or mint leaves.

Notes

Experiment with variations such as adding pineapple or spinach, and avoid over-blending to prevent a runny texture.
