Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 handful ice (more or less depending on texture desired)
Instructions
- Cut the rind off the watermelon and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place in a large bowl and freeze for at least 4-5 hours and up to overnight.
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender and using a tamper* push down the watermelon chunks until fully combined and almost creamy.
- Serve in bowls or cups with a spoon.
Notes
- Blender Tamper*: If you don't have a high speed blender that comes with a tamper you can start and stop your blender and use a spatula to press the mixture down towards the blades.
- Play with Variations: Feel free to get creative with your slushie. Add a handful of mint leaves for a refreshing twist, or throw in a splash of coconut water for added electrolytes.
- Balance the Lime: The lemon juice adds zing to the slushie, but adjust the quantity based on your personal taste preferences. Some like it tangier, while others prefer a milder touch.
- Serve Immediately: Slushies are at their best when freshly made. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor.
