Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

Published on 7.7.2021 by Jen Hansard

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW
healthy summer smoothie

Combine two of the best summer fruits to create a flavorful strawberry watermelon smoothie bursting with nutrients. The fresh ginger adds a pleasant warmth while also helping the digestive system.

How to make a strawberry watermelon smoothie

I usually follow the 1.5+1+1 rule: 1.5 cups fruit + 1 cup leafy greens + 1 cup liquid for any smoothie I make. Yet watermelon is over 90% water, so when using this fruit in a smoothie, I cut back on the amount of water used. This way, I've still got a creamy smoothie in the end, instead of a juice.

If you're working with a non high-powered blender, be sure to blend long enough to avoid strawberry seeds in your teeth along with leafy spinach chunks. Using the 2 blend method works well to really blend up the spinach, water, and watermelon before adding the remaining ingredients.

If you want to turn this smoothie into a meal, just add in a plant based protein powder for extra protein as well as healthy fat. You'll stay full longer and your body will turn that smoothie into long lasting energy to fuel you until lunchtime!

delicious ingredients for a watermelon smoothie recipe

Eating seasonal fruit

Eating fruit seasonally ensures you get the best price as well as the most nutrient dense produce. It also tastes the best when harvested in season, so that's incentive enough for me!

Also know that if you choose to buy frozen fruit, it is picked at peak ripeness then flash frozen, retaining the most nutrients. I love using 1 frozen fruit for every smoothie, and frozen strawberries work great in this strawberry watermelon smoothie.

When to buy organic produce

If buying fresh fruits and veggies is new to you, then know that just starting is great! If you aren't able to get organic, then no sweat. I can't buy 100% organic produce for my family and that's okay. Instead, I follow EWG's guide on the top produce to buy organically.

Every year EWG puts out a 'dirty dozen' list, or the list of fruits and vegetables that should be bought organically to avoid the highest amounts of pesticides. I use this list as my grocery guide and *hint* strawberries always make the list.

For this strawberry watermelon smoothie, look for organic spinach and strawberries. Your body will thank you!

FAQs

How do you freeze watermelon for smoothies?

Slice a watermelon into cubes, then freeze on a parchment lined cookie sheet in 1 layer. Once frozen, toss in a freezer safe bag until ready to blend. Since watermelon is mostly water (and used as part of the liquid in this strawberry watermelon smoothie), you'll need to add some extra water when blending.

What should you not mix in a smoothie?

The sky's the limit when it comes to green smoothies! Okay, maybe not completely.... yet if you follow my 1.5-1-1 rule (1.5 cups fruit, 1 cup leafy greens, 1 cup liquid) rule of thumb, then you can combine a lot of great fruits and greens for smoothies.

What fruit goes well with watermelon?

Berries are my go-to combo with watermelon. Cherries, strawberries, blueberries as well as açaí and lime all work great with melon.

    This was my 3rd smoothie in the 10-Day Challenge and my least favorite. I made this last night for work this morning. It was not very good. The consistency was more watery than the other two I have tried. The taste was pretty flavorless except for the hint of ginger. I will definitely have to modify the measurements of ingredients to get just the right flavor.

    I did like this smoothie but I may have put too much ginger in it. It was kind of a shock when I took the first drink. Even though I love ginger, next time I will decrease the amount of ginger and will probably love the smoothie. I absolutely love watermelon and strawberries so I will have to love it in the future and will keep this recipe.

    I’m sure it would be fantastic if you like ginger. I tried really hard to like this but I just don’t like the taste of ginger. My kids really did not like it but they didn’t know about the ginger.

    Also, it was pretty liquid-y so I added more frozen strawberries.

    This is a collective 3 stars. I would give it 4, but my kids were hovering around a 2-3. It definitely didn’t need the water. Maybe we used too much watermelon, but it tasted pretty watered down (although I liked the drinkability). We blended again with a frozen banana which helped a bit. It also helped hide the ginger, which the kids really didn’t care for. We are having fun experimenting though!

    This was my least favorite of all (including 7-day smoothie challenge recipes) BUT I used cantaloupe instead of watermelon because it was available. Cannot attest to how the actual, suggested recipe tastes like. I love cantaloupe, so somehow the mix of flavors was unappealing to me. And I think I didn't use enough ginger. I very much enjoy that ginger "kick"!

    Summer flavors are my favorite. It’s mid June and I used a personal seedless melon which is not as juicy as the regular seedless watermelon. Next time I’ll use large seedless for sure. The strawberries were delicious with melon. Added in fresh ginger and that was the zinggg it needed! Winner here!

    So this recipe is yum but I’m only giving it 4 stars because although I love ginger you have to be careful pairing with the watermelon. It will overpower it fast and you will get a bitter taste. I blended this 3x once with frozen melon & it was so fun it was like a slushy. I’ll be making again for a yummy frozen treat to beat the heat for sure

      I enjoyed the watermelon flavor with a hint of tart from my berries and the zing from the ginger. Due to travelling, I made this early on day one, froze it for a few hours, then set it out over night to thaw. (I've found if left to thaw in the fridge, it takes about 24 hours for a frozen smoothie to become drinkable slush again.). Probably because of this, it was more watery than slushy, which is not my favorite. Can't wait to try it again fresh.

    I did not love this one. I ended up dumping the last 1/4 of it. For some reason, it was very chunky; an issue I've never had with smoothies in the past. I think it was the ginger. In the past, I've used ginger powder instead of ginger root, and never had an issue with texture. If I make this again, I'll substitute out the ginger root for powder.

    Always love a zip of ginger! Next time I'll leave out the water (which washed out the great strawberry/watermelon flavors) and add a couple more cubes of watermelon. Added lime, also, for extra kick and to bring out the other fruits.

    I love strawberries and watermelon so what could be better?! I added some avocado and oats to make it a meal replacement smoothie. Since I made it in the morning and took it to work for lunch I had forgotten I added the ginger and was trying to figure out the extra flavour, until I had an aha moment. All in all a delicious combination!

    It was refreshing! Not sure I'm 100% sold on drinking my watermelon, though. Mine didn't turn as green as the pictures, was more red.

    I wasn’t sure about this recipe. I’m not a huge watermelon fan and I wasn’t sure about the ginger in the mix. However, it didn’t turn out too bad. Not my favorite but I could drink it.

    Love how light and fresh it is because of the watermelon, then hits you with the ginger kick at the end! ❤

    I don't think I have ever in my life thought to make a smoothie with watermelon, but this watermelon strawberry green smoothie was really good. I was happy to add ginger to it as well give it a nice kick and soothe and help my digestive system as well! I did add ice to this recipe because all my fruits were fresh not frozen. I like my smoothies a little icy.

    So this is day 2 on the 10 day challenge and I froze strawberries with watermelon when I did my prep. Oops. Watermelon not so great freezing it. Had to add another 1/2 cup of water and instead of using fresh chunk of ginger I used the paste. Ginger is overpowering so I think I'll add more fresh watermelon and a lil kale! Turned out to be a darkish red colored smoothie.

    I loved the watermelon and strawberries. I didn't use the ginger. Just wondering why mine looked more red than green. Must've used too much watermelon, lol.....

    This one was too far out of my usual smoothie realm. 🙂 I like watermelon, but this was soooooo sweet to me even though I added more spinach. I think the watermelon makes it too watery, but I can see that this would be a great smoothie for beginners to start with if they've never done green before. My star rating is more about personal preference than anything else!

    Not a big ginger fan, but I know it's good for me 🙂 I used ground/dried ginger which worked just fine. Overall I really liked this smoothie -- another good summer pick. I had never tried a smoothie with watermelon - this will be a new favorite for me.

    This smoothie was refreshing and would be great on a hot day next to the pool. Not that I have a pool, but if I had one, I would definitely drink this next to it. I used fresh (not frozen) watermelon and the drink came out very watery. In the future, I won't add the 1/2 cup of water - the fresh watermelon provides plenty of water on its own.

      Jessie, I made mine with fresh watermelon also and agree. You don't need the water if you're using fresh. Would love to be drinking this one poolside!

    I can't give this a 5-star because my body does not digest melons well, thus I made the recipe swapping Papaya for the watermelon. I find it very light and refreshing and I really enjoy the kick of the ginger. I think Papaya is an inflammatory fruit so am curious to know what the health benefit pros/cons of this mixture provides.

    Wow, I think this one is a new favorite. I agree with other reviewers that this is very ginger forward, but I love ginger, so this is a good thing to me! I bet it would also be good with mint if you're not a ginger fan. I added some vanilla protein powder, which added subtle sweetness, but next time I will try with unflavored so the fruit flavors can shine through!

    This one was ok refreshing, not as sweet as day 1 smoothie. I ended up adding 1/2 banana to it. Hubby didn’t like it because it didn’t look green like the vegan citrus lol, and he is not a fan of strawberries.

    I was really looking forward to this day 2 smoothie, but was disappointed. Maybe I added more than 1” of ginger? I tried to be precise, but maybe just add less next time? Unfortunately, the ginger was just too overpowering and that’s all I tasted. I was really hoping to taste the watermelon and strawberries, but they were just hints of taste. Hopefully making it with less ginger will balance out the flavors more.

      Laura, try it again with maybe half the amount of ginger you originally used. I love ginger but I also understand that too much can just be very overpowering.

    The ginger is strong in this one. Perhaps I used too much, I I will use less next time. Nice and refreshing. I made the Aqua Fresca Pops and put my extra piece of ginger in that and it is not as strong, which leads me to believe I may have put it in too much.

    Mine was very mild tasting, maybe my strawberries and watermelon were not very ripe? But I did add Vega vanilla all in one protein powder, left a chalky aftertaste, and I did add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and some fresh mint leaves
