It starts with ripe watermelon and some frozen ripe strawberries for a tart-sweet twist.
Lime adds a tart kick that offsets the sweetness of the fruit.
Almond milk creates a creamy texture, while banana adds a bit more substance and natural sweetness.
And chia seeds not only add nutrition and texture, but also mock watermelon seeds for more visual appeal. Wowza, that’s one beautiful smoothie.
