Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Watermelon, seedless

- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions
Start by dicing the seedless watermelon into small chunks and measure out four cups.
In a blender, add the diced watermelon, frozen strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Add one cup of ice cubes to the blender for a thicker and frosty texture.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure an even mix.

Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
