Smoothies are one of the best parts of summer. Strawberries pair beautifully with watermelon, creating a light, bright drink that’s perfect for warm afternoons.

This recipe is incredibly simple — just frozen strawberries and fresh watermelon. Using frozen berries gives the smoothie a thick, icy texture without diluting the flavor with ice.

The combination of juicy watermelon and icy frozen strawberries creates a perfect smoothie texture — naturally sweet and very refreshing. If your fruit isn’t quite sweet enough, add a small drizzle of maple syrup, though it often isn’t necessary.

You can also freeze this mixture into popsicles for a fun treat.

Tips:

  • Use frozen strawberries for thickness. If you only have fresh strawberries, use frozen watermelon or add a few ice cubes, but be aware that ice can dilute flavor.
  • Try reversing the ratio—fresh strawberries with frozen watermelon—to find the texture you prefer.
  • If desired, sweeten lightly with maple syrup or honey (if not strictly vegan).
