WATERMELON SLUSHIE INGREDIENTS
My 3 ingredient watermelon slushie is so easy to make and super healthy for you!
- Frozen watermelon
- Fresh lime juice
- Sparking lime water, or your favorite flavor
You can use any brand or flavor of sparkling water that you like here. For your watermelon slush to be really healthy, make sure to choose a brand that does not use any sugar or artificial sweeteners.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH A LOT OF WATERMELON?
There are so many things you can make with a lot of watermelon. First, I like to freeze my watermelon so I have it handy and ready to go for my cold summer watermelon recipes. I love making watermelon smoothies, watermelon smoothie bowls, and even popsicles!
If you have a big watermelon and have not frozen it yet, it also tastes great in a big juicy summer fruit salad.
CAN YOU FREEZE WATERMELON?
Yes! Watermelon freezes really well and the sweet flavor is preserved to use for months! Here are my tips for how to freeze watermelon:
- First is a no brainer, choose the most sweet juicy watermelon for the best flavor
- Second, cut your watermelon into chunks
- And finally, freeze it flat. Do not overlap watermelon or the chunks will get stuck together.
