4-Ingredient Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie

Meredith Youngson
This four-ingredient strawberry watermelon smoothie combines frozen fruit, coconut water and goji berries in a cold, refreshing drink that is ready in five minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water or coconut water
  • 1 cup frozen, diced seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 2 tsp goji berries
  • 1 tsp raw honey optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the water or coconut water, frozen watermelon, strawberries, goji berries and honey, if using, to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth, 30 to 60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Divide between two glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Goji berries have impressive benefits ranging from anti-aging to immune support. They are packed with antioxidants, like free-radical-busting vitamin C, and, for such a tiny fruit, contain a generous amount of fibre and protein. Goji are most often purchased as whole dried berries, but you can also find them in powder format.
