Watermelon Slushie Recipe
This Watermelon Slushie Recipe is a refreshing frozen summer drink made with fresh watermelon, ice, and natural sweetness for the perfect healthy homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon cubed and seeded
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey white sugar, or preferred sweetener
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon
- Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any visible seeds. For a thicker frozen watermelon slushie recipe, freeze the cubes for 2 to 3 hours before blending.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
- Place the watermelon cubes, ice cubes, salt, and sweetener into a high-speed blender or Ninja machine.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy. If needed, add a few extra ice cubes for a thicker consistency.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
- Taste the slushie and add more sweetener if desired. Blend again briefly.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with mint leaves. Serve right away for the best icy texture.
Notes
- Seedless watermelon creates the smoothest slushie
- Adjust the sweetness depending on the watermelon’s ripeness
- Frozen fruit works better than extra ice
- Best consumed immediately after blending
- Great for summer birthdays and outdoor parties
