Method
Add the cubed watermelon to a blender—chilling the watermelon helps create a slushier texture.
Pour in the Greek yogurt, which adds body and a creamy tang to the smoothie.
Add the ice cubes, honey (if using), lime juice, and mint leaves.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 30–45 seconds.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
For a thicker texture, freeze the watermelon cubes ahead of time. This turns your drink into more of a watermelon slushie. If you're dairy-free, swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt or a plant-based alternative. Want to make it a meal? Add a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of chia seeds. And if you're feeling adventurous, a pinch of sea salt can enhance the sweetness of the watermelon.
