It has been SO incredibly hot here this week, and next week isn’t looking any cooler either!

My in-laws brought over a giant tub of leftover watermelon from their Father’s Day weekend that I wasn’t loving the texture of, but I certainly didn’t want to waste it, so I turned it into delicious and hydrating smoothies!!!

Strawberry Watermelon 🍓🍉 Smoothie

• Watermelon (I used 3 slices each blend)
• Strawberries (I used 6 each blend)
• 1 cup Almond milk
• Handful of ice
• Honey
• Mint leaves from my garden

Smoothies are super easy to make. Just throw all of the ingredients in a blender and serve. You can add more or less fruit depending on what you have available to you or prefer taste-wise. Each blend made 1 adult + 2 child size cups, or 2 adult size cups. I didn’t want to over-stuff the blender, so I worked in batches for our large size family.

The kids weren’t huge fans of the mint, but love it without it. Sasha had such a cute idea and placed an extra strawberry on the rim of their smoothies to look fancy & also have a little snack to go with it.

I personally couldn’t get enough of them with the mint! It was seriously the perfect beverage to cool down & enjoy on the porch after a sweaty afternoon in the garden! It was a really nice, healthy treat that wasn’t loaded with added sugars. Plus I was really happy to find a way to use my mint!!

This is definitely going to be my new go to Smoothie this summer! I’m also excited to make other varieties of it as well using the same base: maybe add some cucumbers, other berries, coconut milk, lemon, or greek yogurt. There are endless ideas & they all sound like they’d be good!

What is your go-to summer drink?

Until next time ♡ Mama Morozov
