    Do you love slushies and watermelon like I do? I figured I'd make a tasty combo of both with this Watermelon Slush!

    Watermelon makes a great base for slushies because they have so much water in them. You don't need ice- just freeze the water melon!

    How to make watermelon slushies?

    • Cube and freeze your watermelon
    • Once frozen place watermelon chunks in a high powered blender or food processor
    • Add lime juice and sugar and blend
    • Enjoy!

    How to cut and freeze watermelon cubes?

    • Start by cutting a thin slice off one side of the watermelon to create a nice flat base
    • Slice the watermelon then remove the rind
    • Cut the watermelon flesh into chunks- depending on your blender/processor you might want to cut smaller or larger chunks
    • Place chunks in a parchment lined baking sheet or pan making sure they don't touch, then add another piece of parchment paper over them, add more watermelon, and repeat
    • Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze until solid- 2-4 hrs
    • It's important that the cubes don't touch or else they will freeze together!

    What type of blender should I use to make these?

    I recommend a high powered blender (like a Breville SuperQ or Vitamix) with a tamper. If you don't have one of those use a food processor and scrape down the sides every now and then.

    Help! My slushie is too thick or not blending!

    • To prevent this I recommend allowing your watermelon to partially thaw for 10 minutes or so.
    • Use the tamper on your blender to push the watermelon chunks down '
    • Lastly add ¼-1/2 cup of water to get things moving in your blender- I promise it won't make it watery!

    What size of watermelon should I use?

    I use a medium sized watermelon for this recipe and can get 6 large cupfulls (pictured) or 12 smaller servings.

    Can I use lemon juice instead of lime juice?

    Yep! It will taste a little different but will still be tasty!

    Add a few mint leaves when blending for a minty twist to this easy watermelon drink recipe!

    Total Time 10 mins
    Course Dessert, Drinks
    Cuisine American
    Servings 6 large drinks

    Ingredients
      

    • 10 cups watermelon cubed and frozen
    • 1 cup sugar
    • ½ cup lime juice

    Instructions
     

    • Cube and freeze your watermelon for at least 4 hours. I recommend cubing or cutting the watermelon into chunks, removing the rind, and lying flat on a parchment lined baking sheet and then freezing. This will take up more space in your freezer, but it will make it a lot easier to work with when making the slushie.
    • Once frozen work in batches to make the drink depending on the size of your blender/food processor. I like to work in two batches. Add half the cubed watermelon, ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup lime juice to a food processor or high powered blender.
    • Blend for 20-40 seconds, using a tamper if your blender has one- until it is the consistency you want. If the consistency is too thick add ¼ cup water and try blending again.
    • Enjoy!

    I used this recipe to make Psychomelon Slushies for my Hearthstone inspired recipes! I just colored some of the slushie green and layered it in the cup for a neat effect!
