Ingredients Needed:
This fruity breakfast smoothie requires just 4 simple ingredients!
Watermelon Juice or Milk: you’ll get a little more watermelon flavor with watermelon juice, but you’ll get a creamier texture with milk. Either one works great! Greek Yogurt: you can use plain or vanilla Greek yogurt to thicken this smoothie. Frozen Fruit: a combination of frozen watermelon chunks and frozen strawberries creates the perfect flavor.

Variations
Add herbs. Maybe it sounds weird, but a few fresh mint or basil leaves gives this refreshing smoothie a delicious, herby flavor twist. Sweeten it. Some frozen watermelon isn’t super sweet so you may want to compensate a bit with a drizzle of honey. Thicken it up. Make this breakfast smoothie more filling with a handful of old-fashioned oats, ground flax or hemp hearts. Use a different liquid. Watermelon juice adds great flavor, but you can use milk, coconut water and strawberry juice are also great options. Make it green. Incorporate a veggie with a handful of fresh baby spinach. The color won’t be as pretty but the flavor won’t be affected. Boost the nutrition. Add some extra protein and fiber with a sprinkle of chia seeds or protein powder.
