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 slushie thanks to the ice, so I call this a slushie/smoothie! LOL, I just made that up!

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.
