Notes

For an extra-thick and frosty smoothie, freeze some of the watermelon cubes for at least 30 minutes before blending. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, as watermelon sweetness can vary. This smoothie is also a great base for adding other fruits, greens, or spices. Store leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it's best enjoyed fresh. If storing, stir well before serving as it may separate.
