Yeaaah! I never thought to use watermelon in smoothies. I used lemon juice and monk fruit drops for sweetener. This is a great treat in insanely hot Phoenix, AZ. I wouldn’t have thought to have a smoothie until I saw this recipe and would’ve starved all day because I have trouble eating when I’m smothering in heat. I also have a negative association with smoothies because certain people think they are the magic pill to weight loss which really irks me. Thanks for bringing back positive thoughts.
It was okay. I will give benefit of the doubt to the fruit perhaps not being flavorful enough.
left out the sugar. used 1/2 and 1/2. used twice as much yogurt to 1/2 and 1/2
I made changes only because I was using what I had on hand. I used vanilla yogurt, heavy cream, fresh watermelon and strawberries, & lemonade and a few ice cubes. I also added a couple of basil leaves. Next time I will probably freeze the fruit and omit the ice cubes for a less diluted beverage. Still, this is delicious. Adding fresh mint leaves would be a nice variation.
it was good could use more fruit
Yum
All that I will say about it is, AWESOME!!!!!!
This was delicious! I modified it a little, instead of cream I used organic coconut milk and I was out of orange juice so I threw in a small handful of frozen mango. All the sweetness came from the fruit!
I think this is a fantastic concept! Perfect for a muggy day! I did not use cream (I didn’t have any on hand) so I used more yogurt; I didn’t even miss the cream! Instead of plain yogurt, I had vanilla. I didn’t need to add any sugar or vanilla extract. So good and refreshing!
This strawberry-watermelon smoothie was fantastic! Like most other reviewers, I did make some minor changes to the original recipe. -Replaced cream with lowfat milk -Used Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurts -Added slightly more vanilla This recipe is definitely a keeper & I highly recommend it!
This was a yummy way to use up excess watermelon taking up premium fridge space. I used lowfat milk instead of cream and no vanilla because my yogurt was vanilla flavored; but it was greek style so I added extra orange juice to get a less thick consistency. I also used agave sweetener rather than sugar (no need to worry about it dissolving like there is when using sugar). Even my very fussy daughter liked it. I agree with another reviewer that this more like 3 servings or 2 very generous ones. Even though I really like this smoothie I could never drink all of this as a single serving.
Made this for the residents where I work. They love it. I eliminated the cream and double the yogurt. It made it thick so it was more like a frozen yogurt than a smoothie.
Made it without the cream and it was still delicious and refreshing.
Soo good and refreshing! And easy to whip together!! yummm
Loved it! Very flavorful, and not too heavy. We could actually taste both the watermelon and the strawberries, and the cream gave it a nice smooth flavor. It was a bit too thick so I added milk as I was blending. Will absolutely make this again! A new favorite for us.
I made this for Val and Al and both seemed to really like it. I also enjoyed it. Tom said he would rather have a slice of watermelon. Go figure.
I didn’t have any cream, so I used ice cream, also used vanilla yogurt. It was delicious, will be having this again!
This is a very good and easy recipe. I subbed vanilla yogurt for the plain yogurt and vanilla. I LOVED the addition of the cream. Perfect consistency and very refreshing!! Thanks for posting your recipe, Nobody’sGirl!
I thought this was pretty good. It is a pretty pink color too. I have never had a smoothie made with watermelon. It is an interesting combination. It reminded me of watermelon bubble gum in flavor. I made 1/2 recipe and it made plenty. The only change I made was using agave for the optional sugar, vanilla Greek yogurt, and adding 2 ice cubes because my watermelon was fresh and not frozen.
Reading a few other reviews I’ll play with this smoothie again. Had frozen strawberries on hand – used fresh watermelon – BUT will freeze some watermelon simply for these smoothies. I used stevia extract instead of sugar, store brand plain Greek yogurt and store brand unsweetened almond milk. A lot of dairy clogs up my respiratory system. In recent decade or so – I substitute soy or almond milk over traditional milk a lot. Did not have orange juice on hand – but will use at least a little lemon if I don’t have orange juice next time. This is quite delicious
Watermelon, of course, is full of water – and I wanted a more intense watermelon flavor with the strawberries. So I pureed it, and after doing so I allowed the solids to settle and then poured off the water. It worked great! Instead of yogurt and cream I used homemade strawberry ice cream. I left out the orange juice because to be honest I think its flavor is too bold and detracts from other flavors. I forgot to add the vanilla but I didn’t miss it. Since I had neither the water from the watermelon nor the orange juice, I added half-and-half to compensate. This was wonderful. Hubs couldn’t put his finger on what was in it and called it almost like fruit punch. (Did I mention I threw in some frozen raspberries with this too?) I liked this more than most I’ve made which, frankly, are getting kind of boring.
