Watermelon/Strawberry "Jolly Rancher" Smoothie

Our family has a tradition of eating popcorn and smoothies for dinner every Monday, paired with either a movie or game night.  Since it has been very hot and we have watermelon coming out our ears, I decided to throw some melon in the blender for our smoothie along with other ingredients I had on hand.  I don't use recipes or measurements when I cook so I am estimating the recipe here.  Feel free to change the recipe to be to your liking!!!
Watermelon/Strawberry "Jolly Rancher" Smoothie

2 1/2 cups of cubed Watermelon (seedless or seeded with the seeds removed)
2 cups of Strawberries, washed and halved (remove leaves too)
4 leaves of fresh mint
A little bit of juice of 1/2 of a lime (you don't want too much or it will be sour instead of a little bit tart)
Honey, to taste
Water to make the blender blend if needed.

Put watermelon, strawberries, mint, and lime juice in the blender.  Blend until smooth putting in a little water if needed to get stuff moving (putting in watermelon first helps the process immensely).  Taste and add a little bit of sweetener if needed.  If you want your smoothie to be thicker, add ice at the end and grind it up with the smoothie.  Serve and enjoy!!!!   Tastes like a Watermelon Jolly Rancher!!!
