What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid using overripe watermelon, as it can make the smoothie too sweet. Choose a watermelon that is firm and ripe but not overly mushy.
- Avoid adding too much honey or sweetener, as watermelon is naturally sweet and may not need additional sugar.
- Be careful not to overblend the smoothie, as it can become watery and lose its refreshing texture. Blend just until smooth and well combined.
- Avoid adding too many ice cubes, as it can dilute the flavor of the smoothie. Add ice cubes gradually to reach your desired temperature.
- Avoid skipping the mint leaves, as they add a fresh and aromatic element to the smoothie. If you don’t have fresh mint, you can use a small amount of mint extract instead.
