Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh watermelon cubes, chilled and seedless
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut/almond yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 5–6 fresh mint leaves
  • 1–2 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the fresh watermelon into cubes, removing seeds if necessary. Using chilled watermelon helps ensure your shake stays nice and cold without watering it down.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: Place the watermelon cubes, Greek yogurt, ice cubes, a splash of lime juice, and a few fresh mint leaves into your blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, making sure the ice is fully crushed.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Give your shake a quick taste. If you want it sweeter, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup and blend for a few more seconds to mix everything well.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour your Watermelon Summer Shake into glasses and garnish with mint leaves or a small watermelon wedge for that extra summer vibe.

Notes

  • Use ripe watermelon for optimal sweetness; look for one with a creamy yellow spot.
  • Keep all ingredients chilled to avoid watering down the shake with too much ice.
  • Blend in stages to prevent blender jams—start slow then increase speed.
  • Crushing mint leaves slightly before blending releases more flavor.
  • Enjoy the shake fresh for best color and taste.
