This. Oh my word, this. A frosty Blueberry Watermelon Smoothie is exactly what I needed.
I'm just not sure where it has been all my life!
Bingo. I knew just the perfect new smoothie recipe to whip up for him. What's more refreshing than a juicy watermelon. Right?
So, I tossed a bunch of blueberries and watermelon chunks into my blender, gave it a whirl, and then added in some ice to smooth things out even more.
No fancy straws needed for this smoothie either. I knew the Mister has no use for them and these smoothies really were so beautiful without adding any other sort of frills to them.
Even the ever so picky Little Buddy enjoyed them.
Here's my recipe for Blueberry Watermelon Smoothies. You need 'em.
Add blueberries and watermelon to the container of a blender. Blend on high for about 40 seconds or until completely pureed. Then, stop blender and remove the lid. Add ice to the puree and secure the lid back onto the container. Turn the blender on high for 40 more seconds or until completely blended and smooth with no ice pieces remaining.
Add 1 cup Greek Yogurt if you prefer your smoothies creamier and with yogurt.
Oh yeah, and these babies are good for ya, too. Right?

Watermelon!!!! Has to be sooo refreshing in a smoothie and I have to try it NOW! I always keep coconut water frozen into ice cubes In the freezer, so this will kick the healthy up even more.
I have all these ingredients in my fridge right now! I was looking at the leftover watermelon this morning thinking it would be good in a smoothie.
Fabulous combination and what a pretty color!

I don't normally think of putting watermelon in my smoothies – this one looks so great!
I love this! We just went blueberry picking last weekend so now I'm trying to find different ways to use them. My son loves smoothies and I think this will be a perfect summer treat for us!
This is August perfection. The blueberries and watermelon here are just begging to be blended together.
Loving my new blender and can't wait to try this while I still can before the melon is all gone. I made a watermelon kiwi one the other day from a cookbook and loved it. Thanks for sharing, I see you have a peach one too.. I am happy as you aren't slipping bananas into them as I can't eat those. Thank you!
Thank you so much Robin for the idea. I have tried it…It was sooo refreshing…I added some strawberries and some chia seeds as well…even more refreshing. Will do it again.
Just made this for my hubby and he loved it!! Two thumbs up!! Thank you!!
Try adding a couple of drops of rosewater. Amazing effect.
Sooo good totally doing this again!
I added spinach in mine. Wow yummy!
Oh yes, I think so too! And it's been so hot lately it's great to make these to cool down! Thanks Ginger!
I did use three(3) cups of blueberries, but I just had enough watermelon (but it wasn't three(3 cups) .My smoothie was gooooooood!!!!!
