Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks seedless or de-seeded, ripe
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 10 fresh mint leaves mint leaves optional for flavor
  • 1 cup water optional, for thinning

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Place the watermelon chunks into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed for smooth blending.
  2. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and mint leaves to the blender. Measure using a measuring cup to ensure accuracy.
  3. Blend the mixture on high speed until the watermelon is completely liquefied and the mixture appears smooth and frothy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see no chunks and a vibrant pink color.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add water a little at a time and pulse to incorporate, until the desired consistency is reached.
  5. Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish with a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately for optimal freshness and chill.

Notes

For a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup. Adjust lime and mint based on personal preference for tartness and freshness.
