Notes
Tips for making this truly THE WORLD’S BEST WATERMELON SMOOTHIE!
Buy a watermelon, cut it up in cubes, and put them in quart sized bags so you have your 2-cup portions already measured out. That way when it’s time to make a watermelon smoothie, you just grab one bag out of the freezer and you’re good.
Thaw the watermelon for 30 seconds or so in the microwave, just enough to break up the chunks and also so that it’s not SO rock hard that it’s going to damage your blender. But not completely thawed, either, because then you’ll lose the slushy texture. You want it in a soft frozen state.
Don’t add TOO many herbs, but… I do love herbs and I highly recommend the addition of both mint and basil. Especially mint.
The smoothie will separate after a few minutes – that’s why you have to serve it right away. This is not a big deal because guess what? The stuff at the bottom (see pictures) is straight up watermelon JUICE and it is amazing.
