Frequently Asked Questions

How to Freeze Watermelon

Cut the watermelon into cubes and place into a zip top freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and lay flat in one layer in the freezer to freeze. This will avoid them all freezing together in one large clump, making it easy for you to measure some out for your smoothie.

Best Tips for Watermelon Smoothies

• Use seedless watermelon to make your life easier and avoid having to pick out seeds.
• Freeze the watermelon at least 6 hours before you plan to make the smoothie.
• Place the watermelon cubes into a zip top freezer bag and lay flat in one layer in the freezer to freeze. This will avoid them all freezing together in one large clump.
• Use vanilla yogurt or plain. If using plain, sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup.
• Serve immediately after making.
• You can freeze the blended mixture in freezer pop molds to make homemade popsicles for the kids.
• Serve the smoothie in a small cup, in a cup with a straw, or in a reusable pouch.
