Notes
- If using cup measure - To get approximately 230 grams of watermelon, cut the watermelon into small 2 cm (0.8 inches) cubes, then fill the one cup and the half cup measuring cups level with the top.
- A medium banana is about 18 – 20 cm (7 – 8 inches) long. Use a ripe one for natural sweetness.
- You can use a natural or flavored yogurt like vanilla or banana.
- Turn this into a cooling and refreshing summer drink by freezing the watermelon cubes before blending.
