Is watermelon good for diabetics?

Watermelon can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced snack or meal.

For example, this recipe includes a ½ cup of watermelon per serving. That amount of watermelon contains about 5.5 grams of carbohydrates, 0.3 grams of fiber, and 4.5 grams of sugar.

So while this fruit isn’t the lowest in carbs or sugar, recipes like smoothies mean you can limit the serving size while still getting to enjoy the flavor.

Storage

I recommend serving this smoothie right away. This will give you the best flavor and texture!

If you want to prep the smoothie ingredients in advance, just store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to blend everything together.

Other healthy smoothie recipes

Smoothies you get from a shop or the store can be full of unwanted sugar and filler ingredients. Plus, they’re pretty pricey! So ditch the sugar and the high price tag by making your own delicious and healthy smoothies right at home.
