fresh watermelon mint slushy

 


I have fond memories of hot Florida summer days riding my bike to the local 7-11 for the coveted ice cold slurpee. It came in three spectacular flavors: red, neon blue and cola. I was always fan of the “red” and reveled in it’s artificial, sugary sweetness. My present self shutters at the large doses of chemicals that I must have ingested in my youth. So much tongue staining, red and blue dye flowed through my veins during my preteen years it is a miracle my sweat was not pink or florescent blue.

Well, here is a simple, healthy version that I promise is much better that those red 7-11 slurpee masterpieces. The watermelon is sweet this time of year, so a sweetener was not needed. However, if you find it a little tart, add a touch honey and that should fix things. As it melts, stick a straw and slurp away.

Watermelon Mint Slushy

1 cup of frozen watermelon cut into cubes
2 mint leaves

Remove seeds and cut watermelon into cubes. Place in the freezer for a few hours to freeze. Add frozen watermelon cubes and mint leaves to a blender and blend on high. Blend for a few minutes to allow the cubes to melt a bit creating the slushy. Spoon out slush and serve.

You can eat it with a spoon until it melts then drink with a straw.

Teacher Appreciation Card Free Printable. The end of the school year is here and I can't believe it. I am torn between looking forward to the lazy relaxed schedule of summer BUT missing the schedule and order of the school year so that I can get more done!⁠
When I was challenged with my own feelings while parenting, I started creating activities that could help kids and parents open up about their emotions. It was so therapeutic and helpful, so I put my feelings activities together into a book. I created the book that I wanted for my own parenting, and I am so thrilled to share it with you.
Vanilla Blueberry Yogurt Pops. I made this recipe this week after posting it in my newsletter and it was so fresh and yummy, so sharing it here! I used to make these yogurt pops all of the time for my son and he would eat them for breakfast. If blueberries are not in season use frozen wild blueberries or whatever frozen fruit you like. They are really easy to make and you can even add some oats if you want to make them even more nutritious for breakfast. ⁠
