This sounds like such a refreshing smoothie, Mira! I love how easy this is and so perfect for this time of year. It’s been so hot and all I want to do is cool off with some frozen drinks. This sounds great for just about any time!
Such a gorgeous smoothie, Mira!! Can’t get over how gorgeous that color is. <3
I love watermelon and this is a great way to enjoy it.
This was a great smoothie for me and my sister in 90° weather. 10/10 would recommend, very yum yum.
Glad you liked it Elise!!!
Tried it, loved it… 1 issue with the page, when I change the serving to 1,it still doesn’t alter the quantity of the items on the list… So if you don’t want to make a smoothie for 4, you will hv to estimate and improvise.
I love this smoothie! I used whole milk instead of almond milk, I left out the lime, and used Chia seeds. This worked just as well. However, I would use fewer seeds. I didn’t like the texture with so many.
I was searching for a watermelon smoothie recipe and I was like this smoothie looks the best out of all of them and then I looked at the ingredients and I said well I am 100% sure that I am NOT going to put those hemp seeds or the lime so then I tried it without those and it was very good I rate this a 9/10
