Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups watermelon cubed – choose ripe, juicy watermelon for natural sweetness. Avoid frozen watermelon as it can alter the texture.
  • 1/2 cup blueberries – fresh or frozen works but fresh berries give a brighter flavor.
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder – I like whey or plant-based options depending on my diet. Vanilla blends best without overpowering the fruit.
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt – adds creaminess and tang; full-fat yogurt gives a richer taste.
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or milk of choice – for smoother blending and a slightly nutty undertone.
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup – optional depending on how sweet your watermelon is.
  • Ice cubes – optional for a colder, thicker smoothie.

Method
 

  1. Start by washing the blueberries and cutting the watermelon into cubes. I like to remove any seeds from the watermelon to make drinking smoother. Fresh fruits make the biggest difference in flavor.
  2. Place watermelon, blueberries, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and almond milk into your blender. I usually layer the softer fruits on top for easier blending.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy and fully combined. Stop and scrape the sides if needed. I like to blend for about 1–2 minutes for the perfect texture.
  4. Taste your smoothie and add honey or syrup if needed. If it’s too thick, pour in a bit more almond milk. I sometimes add a few ice cubes to make it extra cold.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away. Fresh smoothies taste best chilled and retain all the fruit’s natural flavors.

Notes

  • I always use ripe watermelon; it adds natural sweetness without extra sugar.
  • Freezing some blueberries in advance makes the smoothie colder without watering it down.
  • Blending the protein powder with a bit of milk first prevents clumping.
  • I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for a subtle flavor lift.
