Description

Frozen cubes of sweet watermelon are blended with lime juice, coconut water, agave nectar, tulsi basil, and a pinch of salt for a refreshing summer slush. This easy frozen drink is a great way to stay cool and hydrated in the summer heat! 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cubed watermelon, frozen
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 12 tbsp agave nectar, optional
  • 3/4 cup coconut water
  • small pinch of sea salt
  • small handful of tulsi basil leaves

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a blender. You can omit the agave nectar completely if you prefer. If you’d like it lightly sweetened, use 1 tbsp. If you’d like it really sweet, use 2 tbsp. 

Blend until you have a slushy consistency. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Makes 1 large or 2 small servings. 

Notes

  • To prepare your watermelon for freezing, cut it into roughly 1-inch cubes and place it on a small baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Make sure the pieces aren’t touching. Freeze completely before using in the recipe. 
  • If you don’t have access to tulsi basil, you can use an equal amount of regular basil or mint in its place.
