    Watermelon Mint Smoothie Substitutions

    Watermelon: No watermelon on hand? Don't fret! Sub in another juicy fruit like strawberries or cantaloupe. They'll give you a similar refreshing taste, perfect for those hot summer days!

    Mint Leaves: If you're out of mint or simply not a fan, how about trying basil? It gives a uniquely sweet and aromatic touch. For a citrusy twist, lemon or lime zest can be great too.

    Ice: For an extra splash of flavor and creaminess, replace the ice with frozen coconut milk cubes. It'll add a tropical vibe to your smoothie, making you feel like you're on a beach vacation.

    Water: Looking to add a little more nutritional punch? Swap the water for a splash of unsweetened green tea or coconut water. They'll keep your smoothie hydrating while offering a subtle flavor and added health benefits.
