Guilt-free Watermelon Slushies

Summer is here, and it’s hot as hell. I recently bought two snow cone machines – a hand crank (the one we use every day) and an electric one (for when we need to make a big batch). For a quick treat, I like to pour fruit juice or lemonade over the ice and turn it into a yummy slushie.  

 We eat slushies in some form almost every day, so we don’t use normal snow cone syrup. If we did, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing the amount of sugar in just one serving. This recipe is a delicious and healthy alternative, and you don’t need a snow cone maker to enjoy it! 

 Let’s gather the ingredients. 

 You’ll need:  

• Half a medium watermelon  

• Juice of 1 lime  

• 1/3 cup honey  

• A blender or food processor 

 Step 1: Clean out your watermelon. Add chunks, lime juice and honey to the blender. Blend until smooth. 

 Step 2: Pour watermelon mixture into a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish. Place in freezer for an hour.  

Step 3: After an hour, using a fork, scrape the frozen areas of the slush until broken apart. Continue scraping the slush with a fork every hour. The watermelon mixture needs to be frozen for 4-5 hours before serving. Forking it gives it the slush texture we all crave. 

Step 4: Transfer to your favorite insulated cup and enjoy.  

Is your mind blown too? Yes, it’s just that easy! And hey, no high-fructose corn syrup or refined sugar. It’s a win-win for the moms. 

Looking for an adult treat to cool you down? Get wild and add some liquor! I have added Ritual Zero Proof Tequila and it’s so good. I’m sure vodka would be great too. Do you boo!  

Stay cool out there!  

Always and Whatever
