FAQs

Can I use frozen watermelon?
Absolutely! It makes the smoothie even colder and more refreshing.

What if I don’t have coconut water?
Regular water works just fine, or you can use almond milk for a creamier texture.

Can I use dried mint instead of fresh?
Fresh is way better, but if you must, use a tiny pinch of dried.

It’s low in calories, hydrating, and helps with digestion—so yes, it can be a great addition to a balanced diet.

Can I make this into a cocktail?
I mean… technically, yes. A splash of vodka or rum and you’ve got a refreshing summer drink (but let’s pretend this is a detox recipe, okay?).
