- Blend Base: Place the watermelon chunks, Greek yogurt, ice cubes, honey, and lime juice into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

- Add a handful of spinach to boost nutrients without overpowering the watermelon’s delicate flavor.
- Freeze the watermelon chunks before blending for an extra cooling and thicker texture.
