Making a Watermelon Slushie is incredibly straightforward. Here’s how to do it in just a few easy steps:
1. Prepare Watermelon: Start by dicing fresh watermelon into cubes. Spread them out on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
2. Blend Ingredients: Place the frozen watermelon cubes into a blender. Add the coconut water (or regular water) and lime juice.
3. Add Sweetener: If desired, add your chosen sweetener to the blender. Adjust the amount based on your taste preferences.
4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed well.
