Notes

*Sweetener: You may want to add 1-2 tsp of sugar, honey, or maple syrup to your smoothie if you use an unsweetened yogurt. Or it may taste sweet enough for you with no added sweetener! Always sweeten to taste.
For a Vegan Watermelon Smoothie: Use a dairy-free yogurt & a nondairy milk. If needed, use a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup or granulated sugar instead of honey.
