Ingredients

1 large frozen banana
1½ cup frozen watermelon cubed
½-¾ cup plant-based milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Pour the milk (you can start with ½ cup) into a blender and then add the vanilla extract, frozen watermelon and frozen banana.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You might need to take 1-2 break to scrape the walls of the blender and add a little more milk if needed (I used a total of ¾ cup). If you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, then use the tamper to help blend the ingredients. Try to avoid adding too much milk so the consistency of your smoothie is thick and frosty.
Serve and enjoy right away.
