🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups frozen watermelon chunks
✓ ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
✓ Juice of ½ lime (approximately 1 tbsp)
✓ 6–8 fresh mint leaves
✓ ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 3–4 ice cubes (optional, if using fresh watermelon)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out 2 cups of frozen watermelon chunks (pre-frozen or freeze fresh watermelon overnight). Ensure your Greek yogurt is chilled and mint leaves are fresh and rinsed.

2. Add Frozen Watermelon to Blender: Pour the frozen watermelon chunks into your high-speed blender first. This helps anchor the mixture and prevents the yogurt from sticking to the bottom.

3. Add Greek Yogurt: Dollop ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt on top of the watermelon. Using 0% or 2% fat yogurt maximizes protein while keeping saturated fat minimal.

4. Pour Almond Milk: Add ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Start with ½ cup; add more if you prefer a thinner smoothie.

5. Add Lime Juice and Mint: Squeeze fresh lime juice (about 1 tbsp from ½ lime) directly into the blender. Tear mint leaves gently and add 6–8 leaves for subtle herbal notes without overpowering bitterness.

6. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. The frozen watermelon will naturally chill the smoothie; if using fresh watermelon, add 3–4 ice cubes before blending.

7. Check Consistency: Smoothie should pour easily but hold its shape. If too thick, add 2–3 tbsp almond milk and blend again. If too thin, add more frozen watermelon or yogurt.

8. Pour and Garnish: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a thin watermelon wheel on the rim. Add a pinch of lime zest for visual appeal and extra flavor pop.
