This incredibly refreshing smoothie is rich in vitamin C thanks to the addition of watermelon. When watermelon is in season, dice the flesh and store it in the freezer for easy access to a delicious smoothie. Cucumber pairs well with the watermelon for an equally refreshing drink, while sour milk adds a pleasant creamy texture. If the smoothie isn't sweet enough, we recommend sweetening it with honey for maximum benefits. Make this watermelon smoothie for breakfast, and you're guaranteed to feel energized and invigorated!
