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.

I thought watermelon was high glycemic?
Autumn – Thanks for you comment. Watermelon’s glycemic INDEX is high (72), but its glycemic LOAD is low (less than 4). My understanding is that GI tells you how fast the carb in a particular food turns to sugar while GL takes into account how much of the carb is actually present in the food. So watermelon’s carb turns to sugar quickly, but there isn’t much of it there.
I have been craving watermelon, can’t wait to try this
