Ingredients
4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
Juice of 1 lime
1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, based on sweetness)
1/2 cup cold water or coconut water
Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare Watermelon: Cut watermelon into cubes and freeze for at least 2–3 hours until solid.
Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen watermelon, lime juice, water (or coconut water), and sweetener if using.
Adjust: Add a few ice cubes if desired for a thicker slush. Blend until smooth and slushy.
Serve: Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Taste your watermelon first—if it's super sweet, you can skip the sweetener.
For a tropical twist, substitute half of the watermelon with frozen pineapple.
Use coconut water for a subtle electrolyte boost.
