Just like frozen yogurt covered bananas, watermelon is a crucial element of summertime for both kiddos and mamas! Beat the summer heat with this refreshing, summer smoothie recipe! Simple to make, allergy-friendly, and deliciously tasty! When it comes to summertime, this healthy smoothie recipe is a must-have. One of the common problems during the summer is not staying hydrated enough (though here are some tips to boost your water intake!). This is definitely a concern for kids who are running around all day but also for us mamas who either forget to drink a tall glass of water or partake in a few too many patio mommy beverages 😉 Watermelon is made up of 92% water which makes it ideal to keep you hydrated. This watermelon recipe also contains coconut water which is known for its electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. This healthy smoothie recipe is creamy, nutrient-dense, and fueling- a definite must-have for summer days. Don’t want to read? JUMP to the recipe here. Because this summertime smoothie contains avocado, it can be used as a healthy snack or a refreshing treat. The fats in the avocado help slow the sugar release from the fruit and gives the watermelon smoothie a good dose of fiber, potassium and protein! Coconut water is just as hydrating as watermelon but only if you make sure to use a good brand! I long ago learned that many brands add sugar to their coconut water which completely defeats the purchase of using it to boost your health. Zico is one brand I use a lot and Thirsty Buddha is another one that I grab from Well.ca.

Everything about this smoothie screams summer! Looks delicious, refreshing and oh so healthy! Yum!
It’s definitely summertime perfect 😀
This looks so refreshing on a hot summer day! I like the idea of adding healthy fats to it from an avocado. This looks like a smoothie I can try on my picky eater husband:).
I add the fats to help stabilize the sugar and stay full/fueled- it also makes it creamy so win!
I like the idea of the avocado with the watermelon! This looks so creamy!
Can;t go wrong with the nutrients in avocados 😀
So refreshing and healthy!
Definitely a yummy summertime one!
