Watermelon Smoothie

When I blogged about my favorite eats & drinks on my recent vacation to Thailand, I gushed about all the fresh fruit I ate. My favorites were watermelon and pineapple, both of which are so refreshing on a hot day (which I needed since it was 100 and humid there!). The only thing more thirst-quenching than plain old fruit is a fruit smoothie, which I also had in abundance on my vacay. My favorite flavor was watermelon. They tasted simple and delicious, like there weren’t added sugars or anything else. I made a mental note to try making a watermelon smoothie in the near future when I was home, and today, I did just that.

Wow, this is my new favorite ridiculously easy thing to make! I love that it’s fitting as a small meal (it was my breakfast this AM), snack, or dessert. The best part is that it packs a fantastic 4 servings of fruit. 

Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

  • 3 cups of cold chopped watermelon
  • 1 cup of frozen strawberries
  • A pinch of Stevia or other sweetener (I’d guess that I sprinkled around 1/4 TSP in.)

Combine all ingredients in a food processor, pulse until well combined, and that’s all she wrote my friends.

Talking about Thailand is making me nostalgic, wishing I was laying on the beach there hanging out with my hubby right now…

Man that vacation was amazing. Night!
