Watermelon smoothie bowl

Watermelon smoothie bowl in a watermelon shell A fruity, fresh summer dream, served in its own shell – perfect for hot days

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

½ large watermelon

200 g strawberries (fresh or frozen)

200 ml milk (or plant-based milk of your choice, e.g., oat or almond milk)

Toppings of your choice:

Fresh strawberries, sliced

Small pieces of watermelon

3–4 tablespoons crunchy muesli, granola or shredded coconut

Preparation: 

Preparing the melon: Carefully hollow out half of the watermelon with a spoon. Be careful not to damage the rind – it will be used as a “bowl” later. Roughly chop the flesh and remove the seeds.

Blend the smoothie: Place the melon flesh in a blender together with the strawberries and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add ice cubes or a little honey to taste.

Serving: Pour the smoothie mixture into the hollowed-out melon shell.

Topping: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, small pieces of melon, granola and shredded coconut.

Tip: For extra freshness, the flesh can be frozen briefly before blending – this creates a kind of “smoothie ice cream.”

Nutrients:

Watermelons: mainly contain water, vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, and the amino acid citrulline.

Strawberries: are rich in vitamin C, folic acid, fiber, antioxidants (e.g., anthocyanins), and fruit acids.

Benefits: The bowl provides the body with plenty of fluids, vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber—which strengthens the immune system, aids digestion, and promotes recovery after exercise.
