A Refreshing Watermelon Raspberry Smoothie that combines juicy watermelon, tart frozen raspberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and a splash of fresh lemon juice for a revitalizing, healthy drink perfect for a hot day or a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the watermelon into cubes if not pre-cut. Rinse the raspberries if using fresh instead of frozen. Gather all ingredients to make blending easier and faster.
  2. Blend the Base: Place the watermelon cubes, frozen raspberries, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and honey (if using) into your blender. Add the ice cubes to keep the smoothie chilled and give it a frothy texture.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend at high speed or use pulse settings until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth with no large chunks remaining. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little water or more ice cubes to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and if needed, add more honey for sweetness or an extra splash of lemon juice for brightness. Blend briefly again to fully incorporate any additions.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses or jars and garnish with fresh mint leaves or a few whole raspberries for an attractive presentation and a refreshing minty aroma.

Notes

  • Use frozen raspberries to give the smoothie a colder texture without needing extra ice.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for extra nutrition.
  • Adjust sweetness based on the ripeness of the fruit and personal preference.
  • This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh to retain its vibrant flavor and nutrients.
