This strawberry watermelon smoothie is so delicious and refreshing. It is super easy and quick to make in a high speed blender. It's dairy-free, nutritious, and kids love it.

NOTES
Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce makes a big difference in the flavor of your watermelon strawberry smoothie. I prefer to buy U-Pick berries and freeze them myself.
Use Frozen Strawberries: Using frozen strawberries helps achieve a thick, cold smoothie consistency. It also prevents diluting the flavor with ice.
Opt for Seedless Watermelon: Use seedless watermelon whenever possible for a smoother final texture.
Use a High-Speed Blender: It’s much easier to achieve an ultra-smooth texture with a high-speed blender like Vitamix or Blendtec.
Blend Thoroughly: Ensure all the ingredients are blended thoroughly for the best consistency. Stop to scrape down the sides, especially if you don’t have a high-speed blender.
