Watermelon Slushie

Why You’ll Love This Watermelon Slushie

This is my favorite recipe of all time. Watermelon is one of the most cleansing, refreshing, hydrating fruits available on earth and this slushie is pure heaven during those warm summer mornings. Check out my Watermelon breakdown blog to learn more about the health benefits of watermelon.

You can also make these for your kids, or make them into popsicles.

Step By Step Instructions

Blend and enjoy.

Tips for Success

You can make this with non-frozen watermelon! Use a tamper to push the fruit down into the blades of your blender. This is my favorite blender.

Adding other items to the smoothie: Don’t add any other fruit to this smoothie – the saying ‘eat watermelon alone or leave it alone’ applies here. By itself, it is extremely cleansing and will be in and out of your stomach within 30 minutes. If you add other fruit to it, you take away it’s medicinal effect on your body as a cleanser, and may experience digestive issues – especially if you add non-fruit items such as almond milk, nuts/seeds, supplemental powders, greens etc.

WARNING! Laxative effect: Keep in mind that watermelon can have a laxative effect when eaten on an empty stomach in a larger amount (more than 1 or 2 cups). This is very good for you! Especially if you deal with constipation on a regular basis. But I would recommend against drinking this on an hour long commute to work lol. Drink it well before you go anywhere, with enough time to use the bathroom before you go! This goes for children as well. Generally speaking, after drinking this slushie, when you need to go, you need to GO. If you do not experience this, you may need to consider that your body needs to open it’s detoxification channels. Read more about detoxification here.
