Juice of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon fresh mint leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cubing your watermelon, making sure to remove any seeds. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can freeze the watermelon cubes for a few hours beforehand.

      Add Ice (Optional): If you desire a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes into the blender.

        Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if necessary.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or lime juice according to your preference. Add more honey or lime if needed, and blend again briefly.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of watermelon on the rim if desired.

              Enjoy Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve this refreshing smoothie immediately!
