Ingredients
- 2 cups diced watermelon, seeds removed
- 1 cup diced mango, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- Ice cubes (optional, for a frostier texture)
For those who might want a dairy-free version, you can substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt of your choice. Sometimes, when I’m feeling adventurous, I add a handful of fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist. It’s these small tweaks that keep our culinary adventures exciting!
Instructions
- Add the diced watermelon and mango to your blender. These fruits are naturally juicy, which makes them perfect for a smoothie that’s refreshing and light.
- Incorporate the Greek yogurt and coconut water. The yogurt adds a creamy texture, while the coconut water brings a subtle hint of tropical flavor.
- Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the blender. This adds a delightful zing to the smoothie, enhancing the natural sweetness of the fruits.
- If you like your smoothies a bit sweeter, drizzle in the honey. It’s completely optional but recommended if your fruits aren’t at peak ripeness.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a frostier drink, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust as needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut water. For extra tang, a little more lime juice might be just the ticket.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about blending fruits and watching them transform into a vibrant, delicious concoction. It’s a simple pleasure, one that I’ve cherished ever since those early days in my grandmother’s kitchen.
