Watermelon Smoothie (with fresh watermelon!)
Servings: 1
Calories: 177kcal
If you’ve ever ended up with a watermelon that’s bigger than your family can finish in a single week, this watermelon smoothie is a delicious way to enjoy some of it. It has a refreshing flavor that feels like "summer" thanks to the addition of frozen strawberries (which are cheaper and easier to work with than fresh). Plus, the watermelon adds extra nutrients to each sip. You can whip this up in 5 minutes or less!
