This smoothie is a summer dream—icy cold, fruity, creamy, and just sweet enough. The watermelon makes it hydrating, the strawberries give it a bold berry punch, and the lime adds the perfect zing. Served in jars, it’s not just delicious, but also Instagram-worthy!

Ingredients (Makes 6–7 Jars)

• 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen

3. Blend until smooth and frothy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
4. Pour into jars: Divide the smoothie evenly into mason jars.
5. Garnish: Add a lime wedge on the rim for that fresh, tropical look.
6. Serve immediately—or cover with lids and chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours (shake before drinking).
