This watermelon peach smoothie is made for sunny mornings, hot afternoons, and any time you want something juicy, chilled, and easy. Sweet watermelon blends with ripe peach, coconut water, lime, and fresh mint for a fruit smoothie that feels light, bright, and extra refreshing. A small splash of coconut milk is optional if you want a softer, creamier finish while still keeping the smoothie cool and fresh.
Ingredients
- 2 cups seedless watermelon cubes, chilled
- 1 large ripe peach, pitted and sliced
- 3/4 cup coconut water
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk, optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes
How To Make It
Add the watermelon, peach, coconut water, optional coconut milk, lime juice, mint, and ice to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until completely smooth and frosty, about 30 to 45 seconds. If the mixture is too thick to blend easily, add another splash of coconut water. If you want it colder and more slushy, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again.
Taste and adjust before serving. For a brighter smoothie, add a little more lime juice. For a sweeter blend, use a very ripe peach or add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Pour into one large glass or two smaller glasses. Garnish with a mint sprig, a thin peach slice, or a tiny wedge of watermelon if you want a fun, Pinterest-ready finish.
Tips
Use chilled fruit for the best texture. Cold watermelon makes the smoothie naturally refreshing and helps it blend into a juicy, almost slushy drink.
Choose a ripe peach that smells sweet and gives slightly when pressed. A firm peach will still blend, but the flavor will be milder.
Coconut water keeps this smoothie light and hydrating in feel, while the optional coconut milk adds a gentle creamy note. Use one or both depending on the texture you like.
Fresh mint is strong, so start with a small handful or about 1 tablespoon of leaves. You can always add more after tasting.
This smoothie is best served right away because watermelon can separate as it sits. If it does separate, just stir or re-blend for a few seconds.
Sip it cold and enjoy the sunny watermelon-peach refreshment!
