What can I serve with my smoothie? This smoothie can be consumed alone on-the-go or serve this smoothie with a slice of avocado toast or a light quiche like this Whipped Ricotta Quiche!
What else can I add to my smoothie? If you want to add extra protein to your smoothie, a scoop of vanilla protein powder would be delicious with the fruity flavor combination. You can also add spinach for an extra nutrition punch. The spinach is relatively tasteless and will give the smoothie a bright green flavor. Additionally, you could top the smoothie with chia seeds or flax seeds. Finally, you can add oats to your blender. This will thicken your smoothie slightly and give it a grittier texture, however, the flavor will not be significantly altered.
Help! My smoothie is not sweet enough. If your smoothie is not sweet enough, try adding some honey or agave nectar. I like to use this Vanilla Greek Yogurt with Honey. It adds the perfect amount of natural sweetness.
What can I do with leftover smoothie? Use leftover Watermelon Banana Smoothie to make a delicious popsicle! Simply pour the leftover smoothie into a popsicle mold and freeze. This makes this smoothie even more toddler friendly! You can also make this smoothie baby friendly by putting the leftovers into a teething bag and freezing!
Is this Watermelon Banana Smoothie healthy? Yes, this Watermelon Banana Smoothie is healthy and full of health benefits! It is low in calories and high in nutrients. The watermelon will help you stay hydrated. The banana is full of potassium. Strawberries are low in calories and packed with vitamins. The Greek Yogurt gives the smoothie a protein punch to keep you full longer. Along with a healthy diet, this Watermelon Banana Smoothie could assist with weigh loss.
What fruit mixes well with watermelon? Banana mixes well with watermelon. Take this Watermelon Banana Smoothie as an example! The banana mixed with watermelon gives the watermelon smoothie a smooth texture and thickens the smoothie. Mango and peaches have similar properties to bananas and will bind well with watermelon.
Should I add the watermelon seeds to my smoothie? While watermelon seeds do have nutritional benefits, I do not recommend adding them to your smoothie. Once the seeds are blended, they will cause the smoothie to be chunky with seeds.
