With the temperatures soaring (100°F/40°C, no less!) what I really need these days is something light and refeshing. I chopped up some watermelon and pulled out some strawberries from the freezer and this was ready in no time. The only thing that takes a wee bit of time is deseeding the watermelon.
I loved the flavours of strawberry, watermelon and lime combining together. Give it a shot, you’re going to love it too!
Watermelon Strawberry Slushie
Serves: 2-3
3 cups watermelon, deseeded
1 cup strawberries
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp sugar (much depends on the natural sweetness of the fruit)
½ cup water
- Whiz together the watermelon and strawberry in a blender. Add the lime juice and sugar and water. Whiz again until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour in a glass with ice. Drink up!
Variation: I like mine on the thicker side. If you want to thin it down, simply add half a glass of water to it. Also check if it’s still sweet enough for you.

hey lovely smoothie, love the combination and it surely looks very refreshing )
Refreshing…so you’ve been busy hmmmm!! Just kidding. I think this might make a nice sorbet as well!
ahh just looking at those pics makes me feel cool! nice! its already peak summer and you still haven’t got over your strawberry fixation!
OMG just what you need after a hot afternoon of cricket!!!
I love the colour…very striking
I haven’t tried this out with strawberries, but with watermelon, yes.
However,
I hardly have fruits to do things like this! For instance, watermelon is eaten immediately and with tons of fun. Strawberries are used by A for his innumerable dessert expts!
The pics are beautiful, PF!
that color is mesmerizing!
gorgeous pic…
that colour looks gorgeous!

Plutosangel: No, I haven’t.
I still have some left!
A_and_N: I absolutely agree about the watermelon being eaten immediately. I had to tap a few hands, else I wouldn’t be left with any!
That sounds and looks DELICIOUS!
This looks really good! Yum! : )
My kids would love that combo!
I’m jealous of your warm weather, although that’s a little too warm! Still chilly in Chicago!!
Thanks for posting!
Gorgeous!
Where do you find strawberries girl? I haven’t seen any for at least two weeks now.
Jenn: You shouldn’t be. I’d pick a cold weather any day!
Simran: Oh I bought lots of them in Feb and then froze them. So every once in a while when I crave them, I just pull some out of the freezer.
Oh wow what a combo and truely refreshing drink…
Sounds refreshing. I bet that lime makes all the difference.
We made this tonight, and I tweaked it by adding two kiwis as well, it was fantastic thank you!
Ooooh Jenna, Kiwis to this sounds delicious. I like your tweak
Made this y’day nite, was awesome!
Looks like just about the most refreshing drink ever!
It really is!
The smoothie looks so good! To bad you can’t reach into the copmuter and grab it and eat it!
