Our dad first made this watermelon smoothie recipe when we were younger, and we’ve been obsessed ever since. The love keeps going with our daughter, Mel, who happens to be obsessed with watermelon (and smoothies). We can’t blame her because this drink is delicious!
The combination of strawberries and watermelon is a match made in heaven – fresh, flavorful, cold and delicious (just as good as our Aloha Tropical Smoothie and Strawberry Banana Smoothie).
We love that simple, healthy ingredients can be mixed together to make something so delicious and refreshing.
Why we think you’ll love it:
- Warm weather refresher. Nothing beats the sweet, light, and cool flavor of watermelon when you’re craving something to cool you down. This smoothie is like summer in a glass!
- No-fuss recipe. With just a few simple ingredients and a blender, you can whip this up in minutes. There’s no complicated prep, so you can get to sipping on something delicious fast.
- Easily customizable. You can make it with or without dairy, add other fruit, or even toss in a little lime juice to give it a zesty kick. It’s a great base for creating your own perfect summer drink!
Watermelon Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups watermelon cubed
- 1 cup strawberries, trimmed
- ½ cup milk, optional – skim milk or almond milk is good for keeping calories away, but any milk works fine
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener packets, optional – or a little sugar (depending on your sweet your watermelon is)
- ½ cup ice
How to Make a Watermelon Smoothie
- BLEND. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until combined. Serve cold. Pour into glasses and savor every sip!
Keep it cold – Watermelon has a high water content, so serve right after blending for the best texture and flavor.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Pick a good watermelon. Follow the tips in this post to help you pick the perfect watermelon for a sweet smoothie and cut it with ease!
- Use frozen fruit. Freeze the watermelon or strawberries beforehand for a thicker, frostier smoothie without needing extra ice.
- Add a boost. For extra nutrition, toss in a handful of spinach, chia seeds, or a scoop of protein powder—it won’t change the refreshing taste m
- Mix it up by adding other fruit. These other combos work great and taste delicious:
- watermelon + blackberries
- watermelon + blueberries + peaches
- watermelon + fresh lime/lemon juice + raspberry juice + mint

Recipe FAQ
Add a little bit of lemon juice or Sure Fresh so the smoothie doesn’t brown.
If there’s a little room at the top of the container, cut a piece of plastic wrap and place it directly onto the top of the smoothie. Store in the fridge for 12 hours or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Wash, slice, and divide the fruit into individual-sized portions and keep them in Ziploc bags in the freezer.
The ice and milk are best added to the smoothie right before mixing.
Simply empty the bag of frozen fruit into the blender, pour in the milk, lemon, ice, and blend!
