Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh! If you want to prep ahead, you can freeze the ingredients (except the sorbet) in a bag and blend when ready.
2. What type of watermelon should I use?
Seedless works best—it keeps things smooth and easy to blend with no extra prep.
3. Is this smoothie dairy-free?
Yes, as long as your strawberry sorbet doesn’t contain milk. Most are dairy-free, but it’s worth a quick check.
4. Can I turn this into a smoothie bowl?
Definitely! Use less liquid or skip the ice to keep things thick enough for a spoon. Then, top with sliced fruit, granola, or coconut flakes.
5. How do I make it sweeter?
The sorbet and banana usually add plenty, but if you like it extra sweet, a drizzle of honey or agave does the trick.
