Our Strawberry Chia Watermelon Smoothie is the perfect blend of sweet and tart flavors combined with a nutrient-packed punch. This smoothie features ripe watermelon, frozen strawberries, creamy banana, and the superfood goodness of chia seeds, all brought together with a splash of almond milk and a zingy note of fresh lime. Let's dive into how you can make this delicious drink!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Roll the lime on your countertop with a little pressure to release the juices.
- Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into a small bowl. Dispose of any seeds.
- In a high-speed blender, add the cubed watermelon, frozen strawberries, and banana.
- Pour in the almond milk and freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Add the chia seeds to the blender.
- Cover the blender and blend on high until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the smoothie is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- If the consistency is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a few chia seeds on top or a slice of lime on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately while it's cold and refreshing.
Tips:
- Ensure your watermelon is ripe and sweet for the best flavor. You can also chill the watermelon in the fridge before blending to keep your smoothie extra cold.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes or use a whole frozen banana instead of just half.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
- To make the smoothie even more hydrating, substitute coconut water for almond milk.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of fresh mint leaves for an extra layer of flavor.
- Soak the chia seeds in almond milk for 10-15 minutes before blending to help them soften and blend more smoothly.
