Watermelon, Strawberry & Ginger Smoothies
 
Prep time

Total time
 
Serves: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup frozen watermelon
  • ½ Cup hulled and sliced ripe strawberries (about 5 strawberries)
  • ¼ - ½ Whole lime (not the juice, the whole lime, peeled)
  • ½ Cup Bosc pear (about ¼ of the pear)
  • ¼ - ½ Teaspoon fresh ground ginger
  • Handful fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Cut up your watermelon into small chunks and freeze for at least 8 hours. Freeze a little more than a cup so you can make flavor adjustments as needed.
  2. Peel your lime, removing all of the pith (the white stuff). Start off by adding ¼ of the lime and add more per your preference. There is a fine line between the perfect amount of lime and too much lime.
  3. Place all of the ingredients into the blender and blend. Taste and adjust as needed.
  4. This smoothie gets most of its sweetness from the strawberries, so make sure they are quite ripe. If needed, you can add sweetener (honey/maple syrup would be nice).
Notes
One thing I've learned about smoothie making is that it is pretty hard to screw up. You can play around with quantities and types of fruit endlessly. The only thing to be mindful of is how liquid/icy your ingredients are going to make your smoothie.
