Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (600g) fresh ripe watermelon, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 medium lime)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Cut about 4 cups (600g) of fresh, ripe watermelon into chunks. Remove any seeds if your watermelon isn’t seedless.
- Roll the lime on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut in half and juice it using a citrus juicer or by hand to get about 2 tablespoons (30ml).
- Place watermelon chunks, freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1 tablespoon (15ml) of honey into the blender jar.
- Blend on low speed, then increase to high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is silky with no large chunks. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. If too thick, add a splash of cold water or ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding up to 1 more tablespoon of honey if desired, then blend briefly to combine. Optionally add a tiny pinch of salt to balance flavors if too tart.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a lime wedge or mint sprig if desired.
Notes
Use ripe, juicy watermelon for best flavor and texture. If you want a chilled smoothie without watering it down, freeze watermelon cubes beforehand. The smoothie may separate after sitting; just stir or shake before drinking. Adjust honey and lime to taste. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
