Good to know

Chef's tip

For a more exotic twist, try adding a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors of your watermelon smoothie. It adds a tangy touch and even more freshness to your favorite summer drink! 🍋🧂

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Watermelon thaws poorly and loses its texture and flavor.

Storage : How long does it keep?

It deteriorates quickly. The watermelon separates and the mint oxidizes.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Drink immediately after preparing.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. Cold drink.

Variations

Add a squeeze of lime juice for a tangier note.
Replace the mint with basil for a more herbal version.
Add a few strawberries or raspberries for a fruitier, more colorful smoothie.

Mistakes to avoid

Using an underripe watermelon: the smoothie is bland. Choose deep red, sweet flesh.
Adding too much water: the smoothie becomes thin and loses its flavor. Add it little by little or use ice cubes instead.
Letting the smoothie sit: it separates and loses its freshness. Enjoy it right away.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to remove the watermelon seeds?

Yes, remove the seeds before blending for a smooth texture. The black seeds are hard and leave unpleasant little bits in the glass. Cut the flesh into cubes before putting it in the blender.

Can you use frozen watermelon?

Yes, frozen watermelon cubes make a very cold smoothie with a texture close to a sorbet. In that case, skip the ice cubes and add a little cold water if your blender struggles to crush the pieces.

How can you make this smoothie thicker?

Add a few ice cubes before blending: they thicken the drink and chill it without watering it down as much as water would. Blend until smooth and even, then serve right away.

Does a watermelon smoothie need sweetener?

Usually not: a ripe watermelon is already very sweet and is enough to make the drink delicious. If your fruit is a bit bland, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup and taste before serving.
