Recipe Tips & Variations

If you're not a fan of coconut, try substituting the coconut milk with vanilla Greek yogurt, or vanilla ice cream. Both are still delicious!
Add more fruit to the milkshake. Try adding blueberries, strawberries or raspberries with the watermelon.
Freeze the watermelon chunks before making the milkshake for a thicker shake. You can also add more or less milk to change the consistency.
Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for more flavor.
You can easily double or triple this recipe if you are serving more than two people.

Storing

Storing: I highly recommend drinking the milkshake immediately, but you can store it for 1 day in the refrigerator.

Freezing: Place the milkshake in an airtight freezer safe container and store in the freezer up to 2 months. Place it in the fridge about 20 minutes or so before drinking to thaw a bit.
