1 cup coconut water

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

Juice of 1 lime

A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by cubing your fresh watermelon, making sure to remove all seeds. You should have about three cups of watermelon cubes.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, coconut water, Greek yogurt (if using), honey or agave syrup, lime juice, and fresh mint leaves.

      Add Ice: If you prefer a chilled smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender for a refreshing texture.

        Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture reaches your desired consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more coconut water.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or lime juice, if necessary.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. You can garnish with extra mint leaves or a slice of watermelon on the rim for a beautiful presentation.
