Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup white grape juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup seedless watermelon (cubed)
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries

Instructions

  • Put white grape juice, chia seeds, watermelon, and frozen strawberries into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To ensure the drink is healthy, choose 100% all-natural white grape juice without added sweeteners.
  • For a less sweet smoothie, use coconut water instead of white grape juice.
  • If possible, buy frozen sliced strawberries, which are easier for blenders to puree. You can also halve or quarter fresh strawberries before freezing them.
  • Feel free to use fresh strawberries and frozen watermelon. It will create the same flavor profile.
  • Add a splash of white grape juice if the smoothie is too thick, then blend for 10 seconds.
  • Drink this smoothie as soon as you make it. The leftovers can be refrigerated for 2 days, but the ingredients will likely separate. Be sure to stir before enjoying.
