Ingredients

  • 3 cups watermelon
  • 1 cup almond milk (or coconut milk or cow’s milk)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I used vanilla Greek yogurt)
  • 3 tbsp raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
  • 8 fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  • Cut watermelon into 1/2 inch cubes. Make sure there are no black seeds. The thin white seeds will blend, but the black ones will not.
  • Place a sheet of waxed paper on a cookie sheet or in a pan. Spread out the cut watermelon and freeze for at least an hour.
  • Combine frozen watermelon cubes, almond milk, vanilla yogurt, and honey in a blender or bullet blender. Add fresh mint if desired.
  • Process on high or the smoothie setting until smooth.
  • Pour into a glass and top with fresh watermelon and a few sprigs of fresh mint if desired.

Notes

This recipe makes two 8-ounce glasses of watermelon smoothie.  You can halve the recipe for just one serving.
