How to make a watermelon smoothie using my favourite summer salad recipe (2 Recipes for the price of 1)
I will show you how to make a watermelon smoothie out of my favourite salad recipe so you can make a salad and a smoothie at the same time.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Water: I didn’t add much liquid to my smoothie but you may need a little bit more so the watermelon doesn’t get stuck. Add as little as you can get away with.
- ¼ of a small watermelon. About 4 cups
- 1 small avocado
- ¼ Cucumber
- 10 mint leaves
- 10 basil leaves
- 10 Coriander leaves
- 1 Cup Oats If you don’t have a powerful blender and want the smoothie very smooth you can soak the oats for an hour before blending
- Juice of 1 lime
- ¼ Cup Fennel Optional or add ½ teaspoon of fennel seeds
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients in the order listed.
- Add more water if required to thin it out.
- Substitute any of the ingredients for whatever you already have.
- If your smoothie is too warm, you can cool it down in the fridge. For any further questions please read How to make a Green Thickie.
