1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Juice of 1 lime

A handful of fresh mint leaves

Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cubing the watermelon and removing any seeds. If your watermelon is not chilled, you can freeze the cubed watermelon for about 1-2 hours for an extra cold smoothie.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the watermelon, frozen banana, coconut yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, lime juice, and fresh mint leaves.

      Adjust Consistency: Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker texture, add more frozen watermelon or banana. For a thinner consistency, gradually add more almond milk.

        Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired.

          Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with extra mint leaves or small watermelon slices if you like.

            Enjoy: Sip your refreshing Watermelon Bliss Smoothie and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
