*Recipe created July 2020 and updated June 2026*
I'm pretty amazed that a watermelon recipe is even making it to SGTO! Honestly, fresh watermelon usually doesn't last more than a day or two in our house.
Not only does this watermelon smoothie feature my favorite fruit, but it is also naturally vegan, gluten-free, and free of any added sugar. Plus, it has a boost of protein thanks to the hemp seeds added!

Ingredient & substitution notes:
- Frozen strawberries: Must be frozen to get the right creamy texture!
- Fresh watermelon: Seedless is ideal here for the best texture.
- Otherwise, you will have to remove large black seeds before blending.
- Plant-based yogurt: I have made this smoothie with Forager Project unsweetened yogurt and CocoJune plain yogurt and I highly recommend both of them!
- Swap 1:1 with Greek yogurt if you're okay with the smoothie being vegetarian and not vegan.
- Hemp seeds: A boost of protein without any added flavors!
- Try them in my Green Breakfast Smoothie next!
Once you've gathered all the ingredients, just add them to a blender and blend until smooth. It really is THAT easy!
Health benefits of this smoothie:
One of the reasons I love having a smoothie for breakfast is that it always leaves me refreshed and never leaves me feeling weighed down.
In this breakfast smoothie, we have several star ingredients to start your day with!
- Watermelon: Keeps you hydrated & is high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
- Strawberries: Also high in Vitamin C, which is great for your immune system & is high in potassium.
- Plant-based yogurt- This depends on the brand you use, but both brands I recommended are full of probiotics, which are super important for gut health & healthy digestion!
- Hemp seeds- An amazing plant-based source of protein! Plus, hemp seeds are packed with omega-3 and omega-6, which are two essential fatty acids we need in our diet (our body cannot produce them on its own).
At the end of the day, it's up to you to determine what you consider healthy, but this smoothie definitely passes my personal test for a healthy and easy breakfast!
FAQ & Substitutions:
Can I prep this strawberry watermelon smoothie ahead of time?
Definitely! Using yogurt actually keeps this smoothie creamy even hours after blending it together. I actually like to make this smoothie as a batch of two and then save one in a covered glass to drink the next day.
After being blended, smoothies will stay fresh in the fridge for about 24 hours. Natural separation may occur, so just stir together before serving if this happens.
What else can I add to this smoothie?
While I like this smoothie as is, you can definitely add extra ingredients!
My personal favorite is adding in a squeeze of lime juice if I have any on hand. You can also add ground flaxseed (for more omega-3s), spinach (for some greens), or cacao nibs for a fun chocolatey crunch.
If you are looking to add more protein, I also love Ora Organic Vanilla Protein Powder or Sunwarrior Vanilla Protein Powder.
I truly hope you all love this easy & creamy Vegan Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie recipe! It truly is the best easy, delicious, and seasonal smoothie recipe for summer!
