2 Ingredient Watermelon Slushy

Simple Frozen Slushy for Hot Summer Days

This summer we’ve been obsessed with watermelon. Something about the freshness and juiciness has us wanting more. A couple years ago we discovered how delicious and fun it is to make a watermelon slushy in the blender. We thought we'd try it out again and add some honey to sweeten up the drink a bit.

Part of what makes this drink so refreshing is that the watermelon is frozen before blending. Who doesn't love a slushy? We stumbled upon this trick by accident. After making our watermelon ice cubes we decided to store the other half of the watermelon in the freezer for a few days until we were ready to use it for something.

We decided to make a slushy and use the frozen watermelon we already had. Usually we use fresh watermelon. We were glad we tried it out because the drink came out cold and thick.

Try this low sugar, frozen drink made with watermelon and a hint of honey. Delicious, cooling and so easy to make. Kick back and enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium seedless watermelon
• 1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons water, optional, as needed

Instructions

1. Cut the watermelon in half and remove the rind. Cut into medium chunks and place them in a plastic bag along with any juice. Freeze flat, trying to keep the pieces somewhat separated so that it will be easier to work with later. 2. Let freeze 4 or more hours. The watermelon doesn’t have to be quite fully frozen. 3. Place half of the frozen watermelon in a food processor or blender. Add honey. Add 1-2 tablespoons water, depending on how frozen the watermelon pieces are. (Water is needed if hard-frozen.) 4. Blend until smooth. Pour 1 cup servings into glasses. Repeat with the remaining watermelon. Notes: - For a fun twist, add crushed mint or lime juice to the watermelon before blending. - Depending on the sweetness of the watermelon, you can add more honey if desired.
