Ingredients and Substitutions

Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits, especially when it’s in season. Nothing quenches thirst quite like it and I love its sweet, clean, slightly floral flavor.

Fresh lime wakes this smoothie up with its bright, tart, zingy flavor. I don’t recommend substituting bottled lime juice in this smoothie. Fresh is so much more flavorful.

I like to add a little extra sweetness to this smoothie by including one date. You can omit the date if you prefer a lower sugar version.

You can use any type of unsweetened milk you like in this smoothie. I went with soy milk this time, but I often use oat milk or almond milk as well.

A small pinch of sea salt enhances the other flavors in this smoothie nicely. You can omit it if you prefer.

How to Make a Watermelon Lime Smoothie

Start by removing the pit from the date, then add it to a blender. Next you’ll add the lime juice and zest, watermelon, unsweetened milk of choice, and sea salt to the blender.
