Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting a seedless watermelon into rough chunks, aiming for about 6 cups in total. Remove any visible seeds as you go.
  2. Place the watermelon chunks into a blender, and blend on high for about 20 seconds until you achieve a smooth, liquified consistency.
  3. Once your watermelon is blended, add in approximately 2 cups of ice cubes, along with 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
  4. Blend the mixture on high for another 45 to 60 seconds, until the ice is fully crushed and the texture is thick and slushy.
  5. After blending, taste your watermelon slushie drink and feel free to adjust the flavors.
  6. Pour your beautifully vibrant watermelon slushie into tall glasses and serve right away.
