  1. Place the seedless watermelon chunks into the blender.

  4. Add a cup of ice cubes to the blender, which will help chill and thicken the smoothie as it blends.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth, frothy, and vividly pink.
  6. Pour the thick, icy watermelon smoothie into glasses, watching the vibrant color spill over the rim.
