Frozen Watermelon Lemonade Slushie (Printable Version)

Naturally sweet frozen watermelon and lemon slushie—refreshing, icy, and ready in 10 minutes without added sugar.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 5 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
02 - 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
03 - 1 cup cold water
04 - 1 cup ice cubes

→ Optional Additions

05 - 10-12 fresh mint leaves (for garnish or blending)
06 - Lemon slices or watermelon wedges, for garnish

# Directions:

01 - Place the frozen watermelon cubes, fresh lemon juice, cold water, and ice cubes in a high-powered blender.
02 - Blend until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
03 - Taste and adjust for tartness—add a few extra watermelon cubes for more sweetness, if needed.
04 - Pour into glasses. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No one will believe there's no added sugar—it's that vibrantly sweet and fresh.
  • It takes practically no prep time, yet feels indulgent enough for sunny celebrations or lazy evenings.
02 -
  • Don't skip freezing your watermelon thoroughly—semi-frozen cubes result in a limp and watery drink.
  • Using a less powerful blender means you may need to pulse several times and scrape down the sides often.
03 -
  • Cut watermelon into small even cubes before freezing so everything blends up smooth and quick.
  • Always have a few extra frozen cubes on hand in case you want to thicken things up at the last second.
