Ingredients
1 medium seedless watermelon
1 cup almond milk , or soy milk, or whole milk
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 small wedges watermelon, garnish
2 sprigs mint, garnish
Steps to Make It
Cut the 1 medium seedless watermelon into small chunks of about 1/2 inch square. This size will be easier to blend into the smoothie. Reserve a few wedges, rind included, for the garnish.
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place the fresh-cut watermelon on the cookie sheet, leaving space between the pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour. If preparing the watermelon in advance for smoothies later in the week, once frozen, transfer to plastic storage bags and freeze in 3-cup portions until ready to use.
Once frozen, measure 3 cups of frozen watermelon and place in a blender. Top the fruit with 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, and 3 tablespoons maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
Serve the watermelon smoothies immediately in chilled glasses. Garnish with a wedge of watermelon and fresh mint, if desired.
Which Fruits Pair Well With Watermelon?
If you're looking to experiment with our recipe and wonder which fruits will pair well, go for tropical flavors like mangoes, pineapples, and coconut (flesh or coconut water). Use frozen fruit to make the smoothie thick. Frozen bananas do add a lot of texture and go well with watermelons, but they could take over the spotlight as they have a very strong flavor. Use a third as much banana as watermelon.
On the other hand, tangier fruits like lime or lemons complement the sweetness of the watermelon. If you're going the citrus route, add herbs such as mint or basil.
Finally, frozen strawberries and raspberries make excellent additions to a watermelon smoothie, as they add sweetness and tanginess at the same time.
