If you’re looking for an easy smoothie that’s both delicious and made with simple ingredients, this one is definitely worth trying.
Ingredients
- 150 g frozen watermelon, cubed
- 80 g frozen mango chunks
- 50 g frozen banana
- 180 ml unsweetened coconut water
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (15 ml)
- ½ cup ice cubes (about 70 g)
Step 1: Add the frozen fruit to the blender
Start by adding the frozen watermelon, frozen mango, and frozen banana to a high-speed blender.
Using frozen fruit is the secret to getting that thick, creamy smoothie texture without needing ice cream, yogurt, or any added sugar.
The watermelon keeps the smoothie light and refreshing, while the mango adds plenty of natural sweetness and tropical flavor.
The small amount of banana helps everything blend smoothly and gives the drink a rich, creamy consistency.
Step 2: Pour in the coconut water and lime juice
Next, add the coconut water and fresh lime juice.
The coconut water keeps the smoothie light, hydrating, and easy to drink, while the lime juice adds a bright, fresh flavor that balances the sweetness of the fruit.
It may seem like a small addition, but the lime really makes the mango and watermelon flavors pop and gives the smoothie a more refreshing finish.
Step 3: Blend until smooth and creamy
Blend everything on high speed for about 45–60 seconds.
At first, the frozen fruit may look chunky, but keep blending until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy.
You should end up with a thick smoothie that pours easily while still having a rich texture.
If it seems too thick for your liking, add a small splash of extra coconut water and blend again until you reach your preferred consistency.
Step 4: Add the ice
Once the smoothie is smooth, add the ice cubes and blend for another 15–20 seconds.
The ice makes the smoothie extra cold and refreshing while adding volume without many additional calories.
This simple step helps create a larger smoothie that feels more satisfying and perfect for a hot day.
Step 5: Pour and serve
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or mason jar and serve immediately.
The beautiful tropical color, combined with the icy texture, makes it look just as good as it tastes.
Every sip is sweet, fruity, and refreshing, with the perfect balance of juicy watermelon, tropical mango, creamy banana, and a hint of fresh lime.
