This refreshing blender drink is basically a cool fruit smoothie. But it satisfies like a sweet slushie!

Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
2 cups (or about 12 ounces) seedless watermelon balls
¾ to 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, to taste
1 tablespoon agave nectar, honey, or sugar (or to taste)
Ice, as needed (see Ice Note below)
Instructions
Place the watermelon and strawberries in the blender. Blend until smooth. You may need to push the watermelon down a bit to get it going, but once it starts to blend the juices will be released to keep it going.
Blend in the lime juice, sweetener, and ice (if using). If you do choose honey, keep in mind that it doesn’t dissolve as well in cold liquids as agave and sugar. Give it a good blend to prevent any “chunks” of honey from remaining.
Notes
Ice Note: If you are using frozen strawberries, you might like this drink best without added ice. But for that slushy consistency, you can add about ½ cup ice. If using fresh strawberries, I use about 1 cup of ice.
