I’ve made this recipe to allow the watermelon to be the stronger flavor. So if that’s not your style, you’ll want to cut back to two cups of watermelon and increase the strawberries to two cups as well. That flavor is a little more balanced and tends toward having a stronger strawberry flavor, if anything.
It’s wonderful both ways, but when I want watermelon, that’s the flavor that I want to be prominent. And trust me about freezing the watermelon and strawberries first. Although you technically can add ice to it to thicken it up, I don’t recommend it in this recipe because it waters down the flavor way too much.
The frozen watermelon and strawberries make a kind of creamy slush that really wets your whistle when the weather is hot. Best of all, it’s super kid friendly.
Sweet watermelon and strawberries with a kick of tartness from lime combine to make this refreshing and delicious Watermelon Strawberry Smoothie. It’s the perfect summer drink!
