It’s heating up in Australia and this Watermelon Coconut Smoothie Recipe will definitely keep you hydrated and chilled and perfect for the holiday season coming up. This recipe is super easy to make and tastes delicious! Watermelon has so many benefits but be weary as it is high in sugar. You can always add in a different milk as well if you are not a fan of coconut milk.

I’ve tried these two fruits on separate smoothie. I think they’ll go well together. I’m giving this a try. Thanks Claire for the recipe.
