- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup coconut water or regular water
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into cubes and chilling them in the refrigerator.
- Combine the chilled watermelon cubes, Greek yogurt, coconut water, honey (if using), and lime juice in a blender.
- Add ice cubes if a frostier texture is desired.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave if needed.
- Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh mint, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use seedless watermelon to ensure a smooth texture without straining.
- For a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use agave instead of honey.
- Freezing the watermelon cubes beforehand can replace the need for ice cubes and prevent dilution.
