Watermelon Rind Smoothie Benefits

In addition to the regular benefits of a watermelon smoothie, the rind ups the nutrition with Vitamin B6 and even more fiber. The frozen watermelon rind steps in for ice, meaning you enjoy a less diluted, and incredibly hydrating, smoothie experience.

Ingredients Know-How 

Watermelon 

Packed with beta-carotene, Vitamin A, magnesium, potassium, and lycopene, watermelon contributes to eye health, skin health, blood sugar regulation, heart health, and reduces inflammation.

Watermelon Rind 

Don't overlook the rind! It's loaded with citrulline, an antioxidant that lowers blood pressure, enhances immunity, improves circulation, and supplies a solid dose of Vitamins A, C, and B6, potassium, and zinc.

Strawberries 

Strawberries are a great source of Vitamin C and can help prevent cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, and strokes while reducing blood pressure and inflammation.

Watermelon Rind Smoothie Substitutions

Hello, BlendJetters! Are you feeling a little adventurous today? Let's explore some fun ingredient switches for your Watermelon Rind Smoothie. Remember, in the world of blending, there are no rules, only flavors waiting to be discovered!

Frozen watermelon rind cubes: We're all about reducing waste, and this smoothie does it beautifully! However, if you're out of rind, frozen cucumber or zucchini can slide right in. They both have a subtle flavor that won't overpower the fruit and add an extra dose of hydration.

Fresh watermelon: No watermelon? No problem! Fresh cantaloupe or honeydew can easily step into the spotlight. If you're up for something a little more tropical, try fresh pineapple or mango for a fun twist!

Strawberries: Blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries would all make delicious substitutes for strawberries. And if you want to get really adventurous, how about a handful of pomegranate arils?

Honey: For a vegan version, try swapping the honey for agave nectar or maple syrup. For a low-sugar version, you could use stevia or simply rely on the natural sweetness of your fruit! 

You can also counteract the natural bitterness of the watermelon rind with sweet fruit like in our watermelon orange smoothie recipe.

Lemon juice: Lime juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar can replace lemon juice for a different kind of tang.
