This smoothie is a refreshing light delight that doubles as a health powerhouse. Both watermelon and ginger are known for their heart health and anti-inflammatory benefits, making this blend as nutritious as it is delicious. Plus, it's a super immune booster, perfect for those days when you're feeling a bit under the weather.

Despite its low calorie count, it makes a perfect snack for any time of the day and any season of the year. Sip it by the pool in the summer, or let it transport you to warmer days during winter.

Ingredient Spotlight 

Watermelon: This juicy fruit is packed with antioxidants, promotes heart health, is potentially anti-cancer, loaded with Vitamin C, has anti-inflammatory properties and is highly hydrating thanks to its high water content. 

The great thing about watermelon is how easy it is to tweak the ingredients to get what you want. You can add protein powder to your watermelon smoothie for a great pre-workout drink that’s super quick and easy to prepare.

Ginger: A spice that aids digestion, has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, helps combat nausea and morning sickness, can lower heart disease risk, and may help decrease cholesterol levels.

Watermelon Ginger Smoothie Substitutions

Frozen and fresh cubed watermelon: Watermelon is our all-time summer love, but if you're game for a change, consider swapping out watermelon with frozen and fresh cubed cantaloupe or honeydew melon. 

For a tropical twist, why not try mango cubes? They're just as sweet and juicy as watermelon! You can even combine other fruit to get the best of both worlds, like in our watermelon and apple smoothie.

Freshly grated ginger: Ginger adds a spicy kick that we adore, but if you're craving something different, replace it with freshly grated turmeric. Turmeric has a slightly earthy flavor and packs in a ton of health benefits. 

You can also try a small amount of fresh jalapeño if you're in the mood for a little heat. Remember, a little goes a long way!
