This watermelon smoothie bowl is packed with healthy fruits and made thick enough you'll need a spoon. Enjoy a delicious bowl of your favorite summer fruits as a fun way to beat the heat and get a great start to 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
Frozen watermelon- You can buy pre-frozen watermelon from the grocery store or freeze your leftover watermelon on a baking sheet overnight.
Strawberries- you can use fresh or frozen.
Raspberries- You can use fresh or frozen.
Blueberries- You can use fresh or frozen. Add more or less depending on how much blue color you want to give your smoothie.
Banana- Use a ripe banana to add natural sweetness and thickness to the smoothie.
Orange Juice- You'll need some orange juice to get the smoothie to the perfect consistency.
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.

🍴 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.
💭 FAQs
Any of your favorite berries and fruits can easily work well with the watermelon. Blueberries, apples, kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, coconut, and bananas are all fabulous fruit ideas. Other ideas can include spinach, acai berries, chia seeds, nuts, and mint leaves. The frozen watermelon flavor is subtle and goes well with practically anything.
Watermelon is said to be one of the best fruits to enjoy before weight loss because it's so filling and has a high water content. It also has amino acids that are great for burning fats. When paired with the other nutritious fruits in this smoothie it's a pretty great option for diets. So enjoy your healthy watermelon smoothie guilt-free.
If you don't have yogurt or frozen yogurt or would like to choose not to use them simply add in more frozen bananas. This will help to keep the drink sweet and thick when blended.
