Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh watermelon chunks, seeds removed
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (natural) or agave syrup (natural), optional
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the fresh watermelon into manageable chunks and remove any seeds to ensure smooth blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Blender: Add the watermelon chunks, fresh lime juice, honey or agave syrup (natural), and ice cubes to the blender. Include mint leaves if using.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. Add more ice or a splash of water if needed to adjust texture.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your slushie and add extra lime juice for brightness or more honey/agave syrup (natural) for sweetness as desired, then blend briefly again.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves or a small watermelon wedge.

Notes

  • Choose ripe watermelon for maximum natural sweetness.
  • Use plenty of ice to achieve the perfect slush texture.
  • Blend in pulses to keep some texture and avoid overheating the blender.
  • Chill your glasses to keep the slushie cooler longer.
  • Muddle mint leaves gently before blending for extra fresh flavor.
