This watermelon raspberry coconut water smoothie is bright, fruity, and perfect for a quick breakfast, refreshing snack, or sunny afternoon sip. Juicy watermelon gives it a light, naturally sweet base, raspberries add a pretty pink-red color with a tangy pop, and coconut water helps everything blend into a smooth, sippable texture. A little banana and Greek yogurt make it creamy without turning it into a heavy smoothie.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed seedless watermelon, chilled
- 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 3/4 cup coconut water, plus more as needed
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons coconut milk, optional for extra creaminess
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional
How To Make It
Add the coconut water to your blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the smoothie from getting too thick at the bottom.
Add the watermelon, raspberries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and optional coconut milk. If your watermelon is very cold or your raspberries are frozen, you may not need the ice. If you want a frostier smoothie, add the ice now.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and bright pink, about 30 to 45 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. If the smoothie is thicker than you like, pour in an extra splash of coconut water and blend again.
Taste before serving. If your raspberries are extra tart, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup and blend briefly. Pour into one large glass or two smaller glasses and enjoy right away.
Tips
Use chilled watermelon for the freshest flavor and best texture. If your watermelon is room temperature, add a handful of ice or freeze the cubes for 20 to 30 minutes before blending.
Frozen raspberries make the smoothie thicker and colder, while fresh raspberries create a lighter, juicier blend. Either option works well.
For a creamier smoothie, use the optional coconut milk or add a little more Greek yogurt. For a lighter version, skip the coconut milk and use a splash more coconut water.
If you want to prep ahead, cube the watermelon and freeze the banana in slices. Store them in freezer bags so you can blend this smoothie quickly whenever the craving hits.
Serve it in a clear glass with a few raspberries or a small watermelon wedge on top for a colorful Pinterest-ready finish.
Blend, sip, and enjoy this cheerful fruit smoothie!
