One 2-inch piece of English cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped (about cup), plus an additional slice for garnish

Combine the cucumber, buttermilk, optional honey, and lime juice in a blender. Blend on high speed until entirely smooth.
Add half of the frozen watermelon and blend until mostly smooth, pausing to stir or push down the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon if needed for smoother blending.
Add the remaining frozen watermelon and continue blending until smooth throughout.
If the consistency is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to thin it slightly.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with the reserved cucumber slice. Sip, refresh, and savor the tropical bliss!
