Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen seedless watermelon chunks
- ½ cup water (or adjust to desired consistency)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
- Optional add-ins (choose one or combine!):
- Splash of lime juice

Step 1
Gather Your Cool Components: Combine the frozen watermelon chunks, water, and your chosen sweetener (if using) in a high-powered blender.
Step 2
Blend to Bliss: Blend for 30-60 seconds, or until smooth and slushy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed for even blending.
Step 3
Taste and Adjust: Give your slushie a taste test. If it’s too thick, add a little more water. If it’s not sweet enough, add more honey or sugar to taste.
Step 4
Flavor Boost (Optional): For an extra refreshing twist, add a splash of lime juice or a handful of fresh mint leaves and blend again for a few seconds.
Step 5
Pour and Enjoy! Pour your vibrant watermelon slushie into a chilled cup and enjoy immediately!
Tips:
- Frozen is Key: Using frozen watermelon chunks is crucial for achieving the perfect slushie consistency. Frozen watermelon eliminates the need for extra ice dilution and adds natural sweetness.
- Sweetness to Your Liking: Adjust the amount of honey or sugar according to your preference. You can also skip the sweetener altogether if your watermelon is very ripe.
- The Water Factor: Start with less water and add more gradually to achieve your desired consistency. Remember, you can always add more water, but you can’t take it away!
- Get Creative: Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations. Try adding a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist, or a handful of frozen berries for a mixed-fruit medley.
