- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- A few fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

Tips for the Perfect Watermelon Smoothie
- Choose Ripe Watermelon: For the best flavor, make sure your watermelon is ripe. It should be firm and bright red inside.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the honey based on the natural sweetness of your watermelon. Some watermelons are sweeter than others.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use a dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt if you prefer a vegan or lactose-free smoothie.
