Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

Strawberry-Watermelon Agua Fresca -- Real Mom Nutrition

I first tasted watermelon juice in Mexico. There was a pitcher of it on the breakfast buffet every morning, and I must’ve guzzled a gallon of it by the end of my trip. When I returned home, I started tossing cubes of watermelon in the blender to recreate the magic. Sipping it on my patio in Ohio didn’t transport me back to the Riviera Maya, but it still became a summertime staple.

So when I was flipping through the new cookbook Smoothie-licious and saw a recipe for a strawberry watermelon smoothie–made with strawberries, watermelon, lime, cilantro, and a touch of sweetener–I knew I had to try it.

I love this new twist on my plain watermelon juice. I liked it without any agave at all–but a drizzle will make it even sweeter. And while I found the cilantro refreshing, this drink would be good without it too (or you can sub in basil or mint).

    I never thought of adding cilantro to a smoothie before! Especially a non-green smoothie. I bet it tastes awesome though! Can’t wait to try!

      I wouldn’t have thought of it either. And I was actually a bit skeptical, but it was good! Mint or basil would also be yummy too.
