The best drinks usually happen when you throw together a couple of awesome things. After realizing how killer watermelon and strawberries are together, I've figured out you only need two things for a totally crave-worthy blend. This drink tastes like summer laziness—even if you're just making it in your regular kitchen.
My kids wanted popsicles out of these last week. It turns out, cool ideas come from simple blends like this.
Irresistible Ingredients
- Frozen Strawberries: They make it thick and icy, no boring ice cubes
- Fresh Watermelon: The more liquid and juicy, the better things get
- Yup, that's it. Really. You only need these.

Blending Up Goodness
Bottom Layer Trick
- Pop those watermelon cubes in the blender first. Like building the perfect base—their juice gets everything spinning:
Fruit Freeze
- Next, toss in the frozen strawberries. They'll chill the whole thing and keep it thick, so you never need ice to water it down:
Whirl It Up
- Let your machine blend till smooth. You're after that pretty pink look, just like a sunset in July:
How's the Texture
- Make sure it's nice and icy thick, not watery or stiff. Watermelon gives it just enough liquid for a cozy blend:
I once tried only fresh fruit and ended up with a runny drink, not a smoothie. The real trick? Use frozen—for sure!
Best Moment
These taste best right off the blender when they're super chilly.
Fun Ways To Serve
Fill tall glasses, stick in a playful straw, and if you're in the mood, pop a watermelon wedge on top.
Make It Unique
If I'm feeling wild, I toss in a squeeze of lime or a hint of mint. Most days, it's spot-on just as it is.
Keep It Fresh
This one's for right now. Watermelon will separate if you let it sit. So just drink up.
