Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 500g fresh watermelon, chopped
- 150g cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 120g plain Greek yogurt
- 30ml honey or agave syrup, to taste
- 240ml ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Chop the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and peel the cucumber before chopping it into small pieces to ensure easy blending.
- Add ingredients to blender: Place the chopped watermelon, cucumber, Greek yogurt, and honey or agave syrup into the blender for combining.
- Add ice and blend: Incorporate the ice cubes to the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture becomes completely smooth and frothy.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more honey or agave syrup if desired; blend again briefly to mix.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and optionally garnish with cucumber slices or fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor.
- Peeling the cucumber removes bitterness for a smoother taste.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess, but can be substituted with a plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
- Add more or less ice depending on your preferred smoothie thickness.
- Garnish with mint leaves to enhance coolness and aroma.
