Watermelon and blueberries are a match made in heaven in this refreshing green smoothie recipe. The flavors of summer are captured in this delicious blend.
I added a banana to help make the smoothie creamy, as watermelon and blueberries aren’t very creamy on their own. You can always substitute the banana for 1/4 avocado if you want, which would make the smoothie smaller and boost the fat content a bit. However, I prefer to use a banana.
This smoothie is a great source of fiber and zinc. Just one cup of frozen wild blueberries contains up to 12% of your daily value of zinc.
The cucumber and fresh baby spinach in this recipe provide a good source of minerals and additional vitamins.

Recipe: Blueberry-Watermelon Green Smoothie
Ingredients (Serves One**; calories=311)
2 cups watermelon, cubed
1 cup frozen wild blueberries (or use fresh blueberries)
1 medium banana, peeled
1/2 cucumber, sliced
3 cups fresh baby spinach
What to do:
- Add the liquid to your blender (for example, a Vitamix),
- Next, the soft fruit
- Finally, add the greens (always added to your blender last)
Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.
**This recipe makes a large, 32-ounce smoothie. It is a meal-replacement smoothie and not a snack. I recommend drinking half right away and the other half about 30 minutes later. If it is too much for you, store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
