Cut the seedless watermelon into small cubes to ensure easy blending. Measure out 4 cups and place them in a blender.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender for a nice, chilled shake.
Squeeze fresh lime juice and pour 2 tablespoons into the blender for a zesty kick.
Add about 10 fresh mint leaves into the blender for an aromatic flavor that beautifully complements the watermelon.
Pour 2 tablespoons of honey into the blender to enhance sweetness. Adjust the quantity based on the watermelon’s natural sweetness and your preference.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, which will subtly enrich the overall flavor profile of the shake.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and frothy, about 1-2 minutes. Ensure that there are no chunks left.
Taste the shake and adjust sweetness with extra honey if needed. Blend briefly if more ingredients are added.
Pour the watermelon shake into glasses and garnish with extra mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.
