Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the watermelon. Cut a fresh watermelon into cubes, ensuring you have about 2 cups. If using pre-cut watermelon, measure out the appropriate amount.
- In a blender, add the cubed watermelon. This will be the base of your smoothie and provide a refreshing flavor and hydration.
- Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. This ingredient adds a tangy flavor and offers various health benefits.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the blender. This step is optional, so adjust according to your taste preferences.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will chill the smoothie and give it a refreshing texture.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you desire more sweetness, you can add additional honey and blend again briefly.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing it evenly. You can garnish with a small slice of watermelon or a sprig of mint for an added touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Apple Cider Vinegar Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Watermelon: Select a watermelon that's deep red, heavy for its size, and has a sweet aroma for the best flavor.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra refreshing smoothie, refrigerate your watermelon cubes before blending.
- Vinegar Variation: If apple cider vinegar tastes too strong, start with less and gradually increase to suit your palate.
- Blending Technique: Blend on high speed and pulse a few times to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without chunks.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust honey to taste, or use alternatives like stevia for a lower-calorie option.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after blending to preserve the smoothie's fresh taste and nutritional value.
- Optional Boosters: Consider adding a small piece of fresh ginger or a mint leaf for an extra flavor dimension.
