About This Recipe
I love summer despite the heat for its fresh fruits. Next to mangoes watermelon is my favorite fruit. We go through so much of watermelon at our home.
I often make this watermelon punch or agua fresca and sip it through all day. I also make watermelon ice cream, pops, salad during summer.
Now not all fruit combines well with watermelon. But one combo that is absolutely stunning is this watermelon and strawberry. Now that we have both ripe juicy strawberries and watermelon in season, I urge you all to try this combo.
You basically start with sweetest watermelon, frozen bananas and plump juicy strawberries. I like to use frozen berries as they magically make any smoothie thick and lush. Just blend them together with a splash of lemon or lime, you are done 🙂
Sounds very simple right? Yes this is so simple and easy to be this delicious and healthy. If you want to incorporate fruits in your kids diet, this is an awesome way. Just fruits and no added sugar.
What I love about this recipe is how super simple it is. On days when you don’t have inclination or time for a proper sit down breakfast, this smoothie will not only fill you up, but also provide with the necessary nutrients and also very delicious.
Even kids or fussy adults who despise eating watermelon will happily devour this smoothie.
So you start with ripe watermelon and sweet strawberries. I highly recommend frozen berries here. There are some chunks of frozen banana to lend that creamy texture and sweetness.
A dash of lime juice and some mint leaves provide a refreshing flavor. To make it super cold you can throw in a few ice cubes too.
There you have, best ever smoothie with fresh seasonal fruits that will fill you up with good nutrients!

How To Pick Best Watermelon?
Look for the yellow spot or splotch which watermelon develops on the spot where they rest on the ground. This indicates ripeness.
Weigh it- when you lift the melon it should be heavy irrespective of its weight. I mean go for a full heavy ones
Tap it- when you tap the melon, it should produce a hollow sound which indicates it is fully ripe.
My mother always says these tips whenever we purchase a watermelon.
