Ingredients
Ingredients
- 30 oz watermelon, cubed (fresh or frozen)
- 4 oz fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 15 oz ice cubes
- 10 oz water
- 15 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut the watermelon into chunks if not already done. Peel and chop the ginger knob to measure approximately 4 oz. Measure 10 oz of water and have the ice cubes and mint leaves ready.
- Combine in Blender: Add the cubed watermelon, chopped ginger, ice cubes, water, and mint leaves into a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds or until completely smooth. For a thicker smoothie, add more watermelon or ice. For a thinner consistency, add more water, keeping in mind this may dilute the sweetness. Taste and adjust by adding more watermelon or a natural sweetener like agave syrup if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
- Storage: Leftover smoothie can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it’s best consumed fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen watermelon depending on availability.
- For extra sweetness, add agave syrup or ripe fruits like banana or pear.
- Adjust the amount of water and ice to reach your preferred smoothie thickness.
- The smoothie is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Fresh ginger adds a spicy flavor; use less if you prefer milder taste.
