We love smoothies in this household and I am a lucky woman. My husband makes them for me all the time. He doesn’t love watermelon, though, and I do – but I don’t want to buy a whole watermelon, so I find that this Minty Watermelon Smoothie Recipe is a great way for me to still enjoy one of my favorite fruits, watermelon. I know it always gets my morning started right. Let’s see if you agree. 🙂
Minty Watermelon Smoothie Recipe
You Will Need…
2 cups chopped, seedless watermelon*
2 cups strawberries {we used frozen but you can use fresh if you like}
1 banana {we used fresh but you can use frozen if you like}
5 sprigs fresh mint
1 cup filtered water
*I buy a personal watermelon and cut it up so that I can make a few smoothies out of it. However, I find that you can buy watermelon already cut up in the produce section of your grocery store. That will save you a lot of time if you aren’t about cutting up a watermelon.
To Prepare…
1. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend on high until smooth. Serve immediately.
Now that’s my kind of recipe. 😉
This is one of my favorite smoothie recipes of any that I have ever tried. For those who aren’t crazy about mint, it also isn’t really minty, you just get the coolness in your breath from it, if that makes sense. I love it the way it is, but I also might try adding more mint to it on occasion.
As I said, I love watermelon and my husband does not, so I find that if I buy a personal watermelon, that I can make a few of these smoothies and get my watermelon fix without wasting any. Also, I don’t have to worry about trying to snarf down a whole watermelon myself, lol.
This recipe was excerpted from Juice Guru, by Steve and Julie Prussack. There are a ton of really great recipes in this recipe compilation and it’s one of my favorites.

Great post! I’ll bookmarked this for summer when watermelon is on season. Watermelon is my son’s fave fruits and I know he’s going to love this smoothie.
Strawberries and watermelon are two of my favorite fruits, so a smoothie containing both sounds delightful. I like the addition of the mint to really bring out the flavors of the fruit.
That drink is definitely mouthwatering! Love it! I can’t wait for the warmer months to kick in. I will be having glasses of those per day!
Oh, my! Looks refreshing. I would love to try this since I have watermelon today. Thanks for sharing!
