Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup watermelon
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Measure the ingredients into a blender.
- Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth.
Notes
- Use ground chia seeds if you don’t have a strong blender. The ground chia seeds won’t get stuck in your teeth if they don’t’ get blended up by your blender.
- Be sure to use a seedless watermelon or remove all the seeds from your watermelon before using it in smoothies.
- For the best results, I recommend using frozen cherries. They are easy to find in most grocery stores now and are pretty budget friendly. They are already pitted and because they are frozen, they help to make the watermelon cherry slushy super cold and refreshing.
- This smoothie has the texture of a slushy, not a thick creamy smoothie. It’s the perfect drink to serve on a hot day, especially if you have been out in the heat.
- You could even turn this watermelon cherry smoothie into popsicles to enjoy all summer long.
