This Watermelon Strawberry Coconut Water Smoothie is a cool, juicy pink fruit smoothie with a light tropical twist. Sweet watermelon blends with strawberries, coconut water, banana, and a touch of coconut for an easy summer drink that feels bright, refreshing, and Pinterest-pretty. It is simple enough for a quick breakfast, an afternoon sip, or a fun warm-weather smoothie when you want something fruity without a heavy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed seedless watermelon, chilled
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 3/4 cup coconut water
- 1/2 medium banana
- 2 tablespoons canned coconut milk or light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice, optional
How To Make It
Add the chilled watermelon, frozen strawberries, coconut water, banana, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and lime juice to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 to 45 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, add another splash of coconut water and blend again. If it is thinner than you like, add a few more frozen strawberries or a little extra ice.
Taste and adjust before serving. For a sweeter smoothie, use a very ripe banana or add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup. For a brighter flavor, add another squeeze of lime juice.
Pour into a tall glass and serve right away while the smoothie is cold and frosty. If you want a pretty finish, top it with a small strawberry slice, a few flakes of coconut, or a tiny wedge of watermelon on the rim.
Tips
Use cold watermelon for the freshest flavor and best texture. If your watermelon is extra juicy, start with 1/2 cup coconut water and add more only as needed.
Frozen strawberries help thicken the smoothie and keep it icy without watering it down. Fresh strawberries work too, but you may want to add the optional ice.
The coconut milk adds a soft, creamy tropical note, while coconut water keeps the smoothie light. If you prefer a thinner fruit drink, skip the coconut milk and add an extra splash of coconut water.
For a smoother sip, blend the shredded coconut a little longer, or leave it out if you prefer a completely silky texture.
Make it, sip it, and enjoy that bright pink smoothie moment!
