This watermelon smoothie bowl contains a variety of nutritious fruits and is prepared to a thickness that requires a spoon. Savor a delightful bowl filled with your preferred summer fruits as a delightful method to stay cool and kickstart your day.
Nothing is better than fresh summer fruits and serving it up this way is not only fun but easy. My kids can be quite picky about what fruits they eat raw but put them in a smoothie and watch them disappear! Even berries they claim to dislike are enjoyed every sip of the way.
If desired, you can serve up your watermelon breakfast smoothie in a glass with a straw, but it's thick enough that you may need a spoon, so serving it up in a bowl is a great idea.

🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Frozen watermelon- You can buy pre-frozen watermelon from the grocery store or freeze your leftover watermelon on a baking sheet overnight.
Blueberries- You can use fresh or frozen. Add more or less depending on how much blue color you want to give your smoothie.
Vanilla Frozen Yogurt- I love to use frozen yogurt instead of fresh because it helps to make smoothies even thicker and it's easier to keep on hand. You can use regular yogurt or even Greek yogurt if you want to.
For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

🍴 Recipe Tips
Making this berry watermelon smoothie is super easy (and fun) all you need is a blender.
You can adjust the overall thickness of the smoothie by using frozen fruits instead of fresh. You can also add in more frozen yogurt for a creamier and thicker texture as well.
We like our watermelon smoothie bowl recipe to be a mash-up of frozen watermelon with whatever berries we have in the fridge.
Using frozen yogurt helps to keep it nice and thick while keeping it pretty healthy compared to ice creams. It also helps to keep the smoothie colder, but if you happen to have Greek yogurt on hand, adding it in instead is totally fine.

Watermelon is a refreshing and delicious fruit that adds great flavor and natural sweetness to this smoothie, making it a delightful and guilt-free choice for a nutritious treat.
