Method
- Start by gathering your ingredients: blueberries, watermelon, and ice. Ensure your blueberries are fresh or thawed if frozen. They should be a rich blue color, plump, and sweet. The watermelon should be ripe—look for a uniform red color inside when cubed.
- Next, add the blueberries and cubed watermelon to the container of your blender. Make sure to include the juice that may have collected in the bowl from the watermelon. That juice is pure flavor!
- Blend on high for approximately 40 seconds. You want to achieve a smooth puree, so watch the consistency. If you see any chunks, let it blend a little longer until it’s nice and creamy.
- After blending, stop the blender and carefully remove the lid. Be cautious of any splatters around the sides of the blender; a good wipe-down will keep your kitchen tidy.
- Now, add the ice to the puree. This will give it that refreshing chill. Secure the lid back onto the blender tightly to avoid any spills.
- Blend again on high for another 40 seconds. As it blends, you’ll notice the mixture becoming frothy and smooth. This is the texture you’re aiming for—no ice chunks should remain!
- Once blended, taste a small amount to see if it meets your flavor expectations. You can always adjust by adding more blueberries for sweetness or more watermelon for hydration.
- When you’re satisfied with the taste and texture, pour the Blueberry Watermelon Smoothie into tall glasses. I love using oversized cups for a bit of fun!
- Serve immediately, and don’t forget to enjoy it while it’s cold. This smoothie is best fresh, as the flavors are at their peak right after blending.
