Chef tips
For a thicker texture, freeze part of the watermelon cubes for 1 hour beforehand. If you prefer a smoother finish, strain the pomegranate before blending or pass the smoothie through a fine sieve at the end.
Substitutions
You can replace the milk with oat or coconut drink if you want to avoid dairy, and swap the honey for maple syrup for a vegan version. Greek yogurt can be replaced with thick plain yogurt.
