A watermelon, cucumber, mint and lime slushie with superior thirst-quenching properties. A light, cool and refreshing treat to hydrate you any time of the day or night.
Both watermelon and cucumber are mellow; watermelon being the stronger of the two and the dominant flavor in the slushie. They need the subtle zing of the fresh mint and the burst of brightness from the lime juice plus a little sweetening up from sugar or stevia to bring out their best.
You can whisk up the juice to have on hand in your refrigerator and blend up with ice when the mood for a slushie strikes you.

I actually have all the ingredients for this other than the watermelon! It wasn’t on sale yesterday, but it might be today. Will definitely need to try this when I get a good deal on watermelon. How is the texture of the unstrained solids? I know watermelon can be kind of weird when blended. Looks great though!

The texture was fine! There was nothing weird about it.
Sounds so refreshing. I love the color of this slushie.

You too Tammy! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo
After a long day of gardening in the California sun, this would be the perfect refresher. I juiced cucumber with cantaloupe this morning….lime and mint would have been a nice addition to this combo too.
This sounds so refreshing. Cucumber goes so well with so many things and is such a nice light addition to drinks. Yum – you are giving me some ideas with this one!
