Ingredients:

• 4 cups watermelon, cubed and chilled
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 tbsp honey (optional)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

1. Start by placing the chilled watermelon cubes into a blender. Add the Greek yogurt for a creamy texture.
2. Throw in the fresh mint leaves. The vibrant, crisp aroma will immediately make you think of bustling summer gardens.
3. If you prefer a sweeter touch, drizzle in the honey. This step is optional but recommended for a hint of natural sweetness.
4. Add the ice cubes for that quintessential chill factor, ensuring every sip is as refreshing as the last.
5. Blend on high until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute. Listen for the smooth, whirling sound as the ingredients harmonize.
6. Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with fresh mint sprigs. Notice the delightful specks of green mint against the pink hue of the watermelon.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• If watermelon is out of season, frozen watermelon chunks work beautifully.
• For a thinner consistency, add a splash of coconut water or almond milk.
• Serve the Watermelon Mint Smoothie in a chilled glass to enhance its refreshment value.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving.
• Replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version that’s just as creamy and delicious.

Pairings and Complements:

This Watermelon Mint Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light summer salad, fresh fruit platter, or even alongside a simple brunch spread. Try it with avocado toast or a selection of finger sandwiches for the perfect complement.
