Delicious and refreshing icy cold watermelon blended into a slushie. Sweet with no added sugar, this one ingredient beverage is great for hot summer days.
Yes. You read that right. One ingredient watermelon slushie.
Technically, this isn’t really a recipe, but I wanted to introduce this amazing summer beverage to you in case you haven’t tried it before. It’s one of my favorites.
Occasionally, when I, or one of my younger sisters, crave watermelon juice, and we don’t have watermelon at home, we would drop by a milk tea shop and buy one. It’s usually $3-4 a cup. Expensive, right? I think so too.
Watermelon slushies are so easy to make. They’re delicious and refreshing and a healthy thirst quencher. And did I mention you only need one ingredient? So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy a watermelon.
Cut the watermelon into smaller pieces. You’ll need about 2 cups.
Freeze the watermelon for about 1-2 hours until they are semi solid.
Add the frozen watermelon into the blender, and several ice cubes if desired. Blend the watermelon until it becomes smooth.
Pour the watermelon slushie into a glass, and serve cold.
Enjoy!

hi andrea- this is a tickly my tastebuds feature over at http://imnotatrophywife.com
Thanks for linking this and please join the party again!
Thank you so much, Laura! I’m super excited to be featured over at Tickle my TasteBuds =)
I’ve been meaning to do something like this all summer. I don’t know what I am waiting for! Maybe your post is the push I need! It looks beautiful and refreshing too!
I really hope you’ll like it!
I love your pictures; you have a great eye for composition. Clean, simple and dynamic. I need to learn from you!
Thank you so much! I still have to work on it. But I think when you look at photos, mostly food for me, you start to get the hang of it =)
Hi, just want to check with you if you know why I can’t read your blog from my ipad? All pics are blank boxes plus the like button does not load. Thanks.
It shouldn’t be happening. I checked on my ipad and everything seems to be working fine. However, it was an issue about a month ago. Maybe it hasn’t cleared from your ipad yet. What you could try doing is clearing the cookies/cache from your browser. Go to “settings,” scroll down to “safari,” tap on it, then scroll to the bottom where it says “clear cookies and data.” It’ll probably close your tabs and history. But that should help clear the problem. Let me know if you have any other questions or if it continues to happen. I’ll do my best to help you fix it! Thanks for letting me know you’re having issues, and for reading and following my blog. Have a great weekend! =)
I absolutely have to make this. Looks refreshing and Delishhhhh!!!!!
Thank you! I hope you’ll like it =)
Simply refreshing!
Thanks, Helene!
Yum! I like blending frozen watermelon with some limeade and unsweetened shredded coconut…and a little rum doesn’t hurt, either.
Oohh! That sounds really delicious! Very tropical and summer like. I’d have to give it a try =)
Mmm I made this on a hot day a few weeks ago and it’s so tasty and refreshing. If you don’t have time to freeze the watermelon (because you need the slushy right away!!) you can always blend the watermelon with ice as well. Lovely photo’s Andrea 🙂
Thanks! You can definitely use ice. The only thing about ice is that sometimes I’m worried it’ll water down the flavor. Have a great weekend!
If i could afford watermelon… I would be making this all summer long ^-^ Perhaps my favorite melon of all time! xD
Oh my gosh, I’ve heard that melons in general are super expensive in Japan! I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to. I studied Japanese for several years, and I love the language. =) How is the Jet program? It must be amazing! Have a great weekend!
Depending on the season and region the prices vary but I’ve seen one small melon go for as much as $90 and the cheapest has gone for $20-30 😛
You’d have to be rich to eat melon then!
So easy and so refreshing for summer, love this slushie!!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend! =)
