Tips:
- Use frozen watermelon: Freezing the watermelon beforehand helps achieve a thick and creamy sherbet-like texture without diluting the smoothie with ice.
- Adjust the sweetness: Taste the watermelon before adding honey or other sweeteners. Some watermelons are naturally sweeter, so you may not need any additional sweetener.
- Add yogurt for creaminess: If you prefer a creamier smoothie, add Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt. Yogurt also adds protein and healthy fats.
- Use fresh mint or basil: Fresh herbs like mint or basil add a refreshing touch to watermelon smoothies.
- Garnish with watermelon cubes or mint leaves: Garnish the smoothies with fresh watermelon cubes or mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
- Make it a popsicle: Pour the smoothie mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for a refreshing summer treat.
