You will need

1 Slice enough watermelon to fill 2 cups (300 grams). To do this, you can cut the watermelon into cubes and then remove the rind. Alternatively, you can cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh with a special spoon or a coffee spoon.

2 Place the watermelon in a blender. For a refreshing smoothie, add 2 cups (400 grams) strawberries and / or 1 tablespoon lime juice. You can use both fresh and frozen berries. Frozen strawberries will make the drink thicker and colder.

3 Add fresh mint or basil leaves. Each of the ingredients will give the watermelon a refreshing taste. Be sure to finely chop the leaves first so that they blend better with the drink.

4 Top with some agave nectar or honey. If the watermelon you are using is very sweet, or if you are not a fan of too sugary drinks, you can skip this step.

5 Add 3-4 ice cubes for extra thickening. If you have already placed frozen strawberries, you do not need to add ice.

6 Close the blender and blend the ingredients until smooth. Mix until all the ice is crumbled and the mixture is smooth. If the smoothie doesn't mix well, pause the blender and use a rubber spatula to scrape down anything that hasn't dissolved.

7 Pour the smoothie into one or two tall glasses and serve. For an extra touch, garnish each drink with a small slice of watermelon or a mint / basil leaf.

Method 2 of 4: Thick Watermelon Smoothie

1 Slice enough watermelon to fill 2 cups (300 grams). To do this, you can cut the watermelon into cubes and then remove the rind. Alternatively, you can cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the pulp with a special spoon or a coffee spoon.
2 Place the watermelon in a blender and pour some milk on top. You can use regular cow's milk or another type of milk such as almond, coconut, or soy.
3 Add some agave nectar or honey as needed. If the watermelon is very sweet, or if you are not a sweet tooth, you can skip this step.
4 Add 5-10 ice cubes. The more ice you add, the thicker the smoothie will be. If you don't want the drink to be watery, use ice cubes made with frozen milk rather than water.
5 Close the blender and blend until smooth. The ice should be completely crumbled, and all the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed with each other. If the smoothie doesn't mix well, pause the blender and use a rubber spatula to scrape down whatever remains on the sides.
6 Pour the smoothie into one or two tall glasses and serve immediately. You can drink it as it is or garnish with a curl of agave nectar or honey. Or you can add a small pile of watermelon to the edge of each glass for a nice finishing touch.

Method 3 of 4: Thick Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

1 Slice enough watermelon to fill 2 cups (300 grams). To do this, you can cut the watermelon into cubes and then remove the rind. Alternatively, you can cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh with a special spoon or a coffee spoon.
2 Place the watermelon and strawberries in a blender. Strawberries can be used both fresh and frozen. If you use frozen berries, the smoothie will be thicker and colder.If you chose fresh strawberries, be sure to cut off the stems first.
3 Add Greek yogurt. If you want your smoothie to be less sweet, use regular yogurt, and for a sweeter drink, use the vanilla version. You can use any fat content yogurt: low fat, 2% or full fat.
4 Pour in milk. Any type of milk can be used, be it cow, almond, coconut or soy milk. However, almond-coconut is recommended.
5 Top with some agave nectar or honey, if necessary. If the watermelon you are using is very sweet (and you added vanilla yogurt), chances are you won't need nectar or honey.
6 Add some ice to finish. If you've used frozen strawberries, chances are you won't need a lot of ice cubes - one or two should be enough! However, if you have fresh berries, you will probably need to add more.
7 Close the blender and blend until smooth. Continue mixing until all the ice has crumbled and the watermelon, strawberry, yogurt, and milk are thoroughly combined. As a result, clots, lumps, streaks and streaks should not be.
8 Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses and serve immediately. For beauty, add a slice of watermelon or strawberry to the edge of each glass.

Method 4 of 4: Cucumber-Strawberry-Watermelon Smoothie

1 Slice enough watermelon to fill 2 cups (300 grams). To do this, you can cut the watermelon into cubes and then remove the rind. Alternatively, you can cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh with a special spoon or a coffee spoon.
2 Peel the cucumber, core and cut into cubes (cucumber should be enough for 1 cup or 150 grams). First, remove the skin from the cucumber with a vegetable peeler, and then cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or a special spoon to scoop out the seeds and then discard them. Then chop the cucumber. Save leftover vegetable for another recipe.
3 Add watermelon, cucumber, and frozen strawberries to a blender. If you can't find frozen strawberries, use fresh ones. Most importantly, be sure to cut off the stems first. You may also need to add a little more ice later if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.
4 Chop the mint leaves thoroughly and add them to a blender. If you don't have mint leaves, try basil instead. Mix both mint and basil thoroughly with watermelon, cucumber and strawberries.
5 Add some ice cubes and water on top. If you are using fresh berries, you may want to add more ice cubes. For a more delicious drink, use coconut water instead of regular water.
6 Close the blender and blend until smooth. Continue the process until the ice is completely crumbled and all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The drink should not contain large pieces of watermelon, cucumber or strawberries.
7 Pour the smoothie into one or two tall glasses and serve. If desired, garnish the edge of each with a slice of cucumber, or place a couple of mint or basil leaves on top.

Tips

Can't find agave nectar or honey? Try regular sugar or stevia instead!
If the watermelon is very ripe, you probably won't need to add any sweetener to your smoothie.
If the smoothie is too thick, add some plain or coconut water to thin it.
If the smoothie is too runny, add some ice cubes. If using strawberries, add some frozen berries.
If you are adding ice cubes to milk or yogurt-based smoothies, consider using ice cubes made from frozen milk or yogurt to keep the drink from getting watery.
For an extra touch, sprinkle some hemp or chia seeds over the top to simulate watermelon seeds.
