Description

A chilled tropical blend of watermelon, banana, and coconut milk for a naturally sweet, creamy, and refreshing drink. Perfect for summer or post-workout hydration with zero added sugar.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups chopped watermelon slices (frozen if in-season)
1 large overripe banana
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
4 ice cubes (optional)
1 tsp fresh lime juice


Instructions

Dice watermelon into 1-inch cubes and transfer to blender.
Add banana and coconut milk to the blender with watermelon.
Pulse until smooth to avoid over-blending; add ice cubes and lime juice.
Pour into two glasses and adjust texture or flavor as needed.

Notes

Frozen watermelon keeps smoothie chilled without dilution
Overripe bananas enhance sweetness and thickness
Full-fat coconut milk is crucial for richness; avoid light versions
Strain watermelon seeds first to prevent bitterness
Try substituting pineapple chunks for a tangy twist
