Watermelon Strawberry Slushie

I've made this several times this summer and haven't stopped to take a picture till now. Mostly we're all just in a rush to get it into our mouths. It's warm weather drink perfection and a great way to use up watermelon, particularly watermelon that might be a bit past it's prime. Another possible use would be pouring it into popsicle molds for fruit pops. You're gonna love it!

Watermelon Strawberry Slushie
{Adapted from ourbestbites.com}

2 cups watermelon chunks, a cup fresh and a cup frozen works the best
1 pint's worth frozen strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
juice of one lemon
possible crushed ice

Place fresh watermelon in blender with lemon juice and sugar. Blend till smooth. Add frozen strawberries and frozen watermelon (if using), blend until smooth. Depending on consistency add a bit of water to thin or more frozen strawberries or ice to thicken. Serve immediately.

  1. We tried this today, and used up all our watermelon, which is too bad, because I'm dying for some more!! I like the addition of strawberries from Mel's Kitchen version.
