  1. Add the cubed watermelon and fresh mint leaves into the blender, creating a colorful base for your smoothie.

  5. Check the consistency; if it's too thick, add a splash more water and blend briefly to incorporate.

  7. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a small lime wedge for an extra touch of freshness.

Notes

For a colder smoothie, add some ice cubes before blending. You can also freeze chunks of watermelon ahead for an extra chill.
