Top Tips
- Use seedless watermelon or remove any seeds before blending for a smoother texture.
- Chill watermelon cubes and freeze pineapple chunks in advance for a quick blend when ready to blend.
- For the best texture, enjoy your smoothie right after blending. This helps prevent the liquid natural separation that can occur over time.
- If you're using all fresh fruit, throw in a handful of ice cubes for a thicker and colder smoothie.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or agave nectar, adjusting to your preference.
- Place the non-frozen watermelon chunks near the blender blades for easier blending.
