Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 banana
- 1 cup coconut water
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Wash the watermelon thoroughly, then cut it in half. Use a sharp knife to cube the watermelon, removing the rind and ensuring you have about 2 cups of fresh watermelon cubes.
- Next, take the orange and peel it carefully. Segment the orange by cutting between the membranes to release the juicy segments. Discard any seeds you may find.
- Peel the banana and cut it into smaller pieces to make blending easier. This will also help to incorporate the banana smoothly into the smoothie.
- Gather all your prepared ingredients and place them into a blender. Start with the cubed watermelon, followed by the orange segments, banana pieces, and finally, pour in 1 cup of coconut water. The coconut water will add a refreshing flavor and help blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more coconut water to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the flavors if necessary. You can add a little honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, or a squeeze of lime juice for a tangy kick.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, filling each about three-quarters full. You can garnish with a slice of orange or a small piece of watermelon on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Orange Watermelon Sunshine Smoothie!
Tips
- • For the best flavor and smoothest texture, use ripe, sweet watermelon and a fully yellow banana • Chill your ingredients beforehand for an extra refreshing drink • If your smoothie is too thick, add coconut water gradually to achieve your desired consistency • For an Instagram-worthy presentation, rim your glasses with a light sugar or garnish with fresh fruit slices • Use fresh, organic ingredients when possible to maximize nutritional benefits and flavor • If you want a colder smoothie, consider adding a few ice cubes during blending • Experiment with optional add-ins like a pinch of mint, a splash of ginger, or a scoop of protein powder for variety
