Watermelon Smoothies with Boba

July 16, 2018 By My Healthy Dish

Watermelon Smoothies with Boba
After my girls tried these Watermelon Smoothies with Boba that I made, I’ve been saving myself from after-school trips to the local bubble tea shop- and sparing all of us from a sugar overload. I love it when they get a good dose of vitamins but really think it’s a treat! That’s because no one can resist a cold and juicy watermelon on a hot day, and by adding boba it just makes it so much more fun to make healthy choices this summer. The key is finding a sweet watermelon,
premium tapioca pearls for the bubbles, and most important, the boba straws!

I recommend Bolle tapioca pearls because they have the least ingredients in them- and they’re most recognizable. Some tapioca pearls are made with ingredients that I can’t even pronounce! This boba turns out nice and chewy, which is a great compliment to the soft and slushy watermelon. You can add honey to sweeten the boba, but with a sweet watermelon, you may not need to.

Once you get a bag of boba, you’re stuck with it because a little goes a long way. In that case, it may be a good idea to invite over your friends and family for a potluck BBQ so you can serve up Watermelon Smoothies with Boba to everyone!
