Watermelon is more than just a summertime fruit; it’s over 90% water, naturally sweet, and rich in antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C. Blending it into a smoothie makes it a quick and easy way to rehydrate while also nourishing your body.
By adding Berry Spark or strawberry smoothie powder, you take this drink to the next level. These plant-based smoothie powders bring in extra nutrients, natural sweetness, and that vibrant berry flavor that pairs perfectly with watermelon. Plus, it’s ready in minutes, no complicated prep required.
