Watermelon Banana Smoothie Recipe

This watermelon banana smoothie is very refreshing. It only takes three ingredients to make this yummy smoothie that is very refreshing – a perfect drink for summer.

If you have watermelons and want to try a new drink, this recipe is for you. You must have had a watermelon slushie or a juice, but this smoothie is the best. It is perfect for breakfast and serving at cookouts or dinners.

This fruity smoothie is ideal for hot summer days and it is bursting with flavor. Plus you can make it in just 5 minutes.

This tasty smoothie is vegan too! Whenever I buy watermelon in summer, I chop the leftovers and freeze them for an occasion just like this.

To make this smoothie, you just need a banana, watermelon, and ice. Even though the smoothie only uses a few ingredients, doesn’t mean it’s bland. It is completely the opposite actually. The sweetness from bananas complements the watermelon flavor.

This recipe is dairy-free as it does not require any milk or yogurt. The addition of dairy takes away the refreshing texture of a slushy. But if you want, you can add milk.

As it only requires a few ingredients, you can easily make it in a large batch for a large number of people.

Are Banana and Watermelon a good combination?

Absolutely! Frozen bananas and watermelon are a match made in heaven. The naturally creamy texture of bananas complements the watermelon flavor in smoothies. As the banana’s sweet flavor is not that intense, it balances out the sweetness of watermelons.

Both fruits are packed with nutrients like Vitamin C, Magnesium, Potassium, and much more. This smoothie is like a power drink.

Tips to Make the Best Smoothie

• Drink this smoothie fresh. Make sure to drink this smoothie as soon as you make it. If you keep it for a long, the ice will begin to melt, and it will lose its slushy texture.
• Don’t over-blend the smoothie. Only blend the smoothie until the fruit is smooth. Don’t over blend as it will melt the ice. We need small chunks of ice in the drink.

• You can add the vanilla protein powder of your choice if you are having this smoothie for breakfast.
