Start by scooping the flesh of a ripe watermelon, ensuring you remove any seeds. Cut the watermelon into cubes and place them in a bowl. Next, retrieve your frozen bananas (peeled and sliced before freezing) and gather your frozen strawberries, vegan yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and maple syrup. Having everything ready will streamline the blending process.

In a high-speed blender, combine the watermelon cubes, frozen strawberries, and frozen banana slices. Pour in the vegan yogurt, followed by the fresh lime juice and zest, along with a drizzle of maple syrup. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, making sure to pause to scrape down the sides as necessary.

If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, gradually add water—starting with 1/4 cup—and blend again on high until you reach your desired consistency.

Once blended to perfection, pour the watermelon smoothie into glasses or, for a fun twist, serve it in a hollowed-out mini watermelon. Consider garnishing with mint leaves or a slice of lime to enhance the visual appeal before serving.
