After months and months (and months!!!) of eating apples and bananas, I cannot tell you the almost ecstatic joy I feel eating strawberries. In all of their sweet and juicy glory, strawberries usher in an entire season of gorgeous, life-affirming fruit and so I feel like it is my duty to eat as much of them as humanly possible.
If you are looking for a juicy burst of energy, look no further than this incredible watermelon strawberry smoothie. It’s also really good if you find yourself with a glut of ripe fruit (lucky you!) that you’re worried about using up.
I love to serve this refreshing summer smoothie on a hot afternoon or to add a serving of fruit alongside my favourite brownie batter overnight oats for breakfast…but you might note that I did not say for breakfast. I’ll put on my dietitian hat and remind you that smoothies without protein are a snack, not a meal! It’s a hot take but I want you nourished and thriving, okay?
This almond milk and watermelon smoothie is an easy way to sneak more fruit into your day. Looking for more fruit-forward recipes? Pick up a copy of my bestselling new plant-based cookbook, Plant Magic.
How to make this juicy watermelon strawberry smoothie
It doesn’t get simpler than this: in less than 5 minutes, you just pop strawberries, watermelon, almond milk – for a boost of plant-based calcium – and a squeeze of lime into the blender. Preferably with the tiniest pinch of salt. Yes, salt. No, your smoothie won’t taste salty…salt is the ultimate flavour enhancer so it simply allows the fruit to shine!
Life hack: Freeze your watermelon! Ever bought one of those giant watermelons on sale and then wondered, how the heck am I gonna get through it? Don’t stress: the easiest way to stop wasting food is to chop and freeze your watermelon…especially because frozen watermelon blends up soooo well. Just peel and chop into 1-2 inch pieces, freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet and then transfer into a freezer bag.
