Hydrating Watermelon Mint Smoothie
Hydrating Watermelon Mint Smoothie- When it’s scorching hot outside and you need a way to cool off and hydrate, this watermelon smoothie is the perfect treat! It only requires three simple ingredients to make.
It’s incredible what a difference proper hydration can make in your overall health. Optimal digestion, supple skin, improved brain function and overall energy are just a few benefits to making sure you’re adequately hydrated.
With scorching temperatures upon us, it’s more important than ever for us to stay on top of it. This watermelon smoothie is the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day and you only need three simple ingredients to make it:
- Seedless Watermelon
- Cucumber
- Fresh Mint
My preferred method for this smoothie is to freeze the watermelon and cucumber then add a little water to get everything going in the blender. But if you’re short on time and don’t want to wait for it to freeze, you can also add a few ice cubes with a splash of water. Either way, it’s so simple to make!
The best part is that the combination is perfectly sweet without the need for any added sugars. Between the mint and the cucumber, you can instantly feel the cooling effect it has on the body. It tastes just as good as it feels to drink. If you’ve been feeling the heat and are in need of hydration then I highly recommend drinking one of these. Cheers!

I do something similar after a long run or workout. I add coconut water and lime to the watermelon chunks. Then blend! Super hydrating with the watermelon and coconut water.
Love that idea! I’ll have to try that next time. :)
