How to Serve Watermelon Lemon Smoothies
This drink is perfect with any snacks, especially salty ones. I like it with chips and this delicious Greek yogurt onion dip. And it’s especially good with these spicy hot fire crackers because it offers cool relief.
Delicious Flavor Combination
Every year in late May or early June, I start craving watermelon. My husband is like that with lemonade. That was what prompted me to make this drink. Now I enjoy it throughout the summer and into the first few weeks of fall.

Do you throw the whole lemon into the blender or just the juice of 1 lemon??
Just the juice. I’ve never added the whole lemon, but I might try that next time just to see how it turns out. I love trying new things, so thanks for giving me the idea.
Just wanted to make sure…I couldn’t imagine using the whole lemon. Thank You for replying.
@Belinda, I did seeds and all
My son adores watermelon slices and also loves to make smoothies…only trouble he never drinks them afterwards. I’m crossing my fingers we can merge the two and I can get him to make these with me AND drink it too!
I hope your son drinks it and enjoys it! We love smoothies, and this is one of our favorites!
Sounds so yummy and refreshing! And about the previous comments, in Mexico, limeade is often made with whole fruits blended in; it is delicious, but it must be consumed almost right away before it turns bitter.
Refreshing and nourishing! Love it.
Thank you! It is so good and perfect for hot days!
Perfect for the 4th!! Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday this week.
