This watermelon blueberry smoothie is simply delicious, hydrating, and just right for a hot summer day! It’s also very easy to make and requires only 3 ingredients. I never thought that combining watermelon and blueberries into a smoothie would taste this good!
If you want a thick and creamy version of this smoothie, throw in some Greek yogurt and a teaspoon of chia seeds instead of ice. I like this recipe because it’s similar to a slushy thanks to the ice, so I call this a slushy/smoothie! LOL, I just made that up!
Do Watermelon And Blueberry Go Together?
Yes, watermelon and blueberries pair well together in both smoothies and salads, however, since both contain a lot of water, you’ll end up with a slushy type smoothie instead regular smoothies. If you want a creamy version, simply add in other thickening ingredients like banana, or yogurt.
What Fruits Go With Watermelon In A Smoothie?
I have a whole post on what pairs well with watermelon in smoothies but here is a breakdown. Fruits like banana, mango, pineapple, kiwi, cantaloupe, strawberries, cherries, peaches, grapes, and blueberries tastes great with watermelon in smoothies.

Storage & Variations
Since this watermelon blueberry smoothie isn’t as thick as other smoothies, it’s best to drink it immediately. If you want to store it for a few hours, you should omit the ice and add a tablespoon of chia seeds to thicken it up.
I wouldn’t add other ingredients to this smoothie because it tastes great just as it is. However, you can use some flax seeds or your favorite protein powder to increase your nutrients and protein intake.
