strawberry-watermelon slush


It's pretty darn simple, and you might already have this stuff around.  Just roughly chop some strawberries.



And juice a lemon



Toss both in your blender along with some cubed watermelon and some sugar,


and blend blend blend.  When its nice and smooth, add ice cubes until it reaches your desired level of slushie-ness.  I think I went for about 4 cups at least.


Pour it into cups and top with an umbrella if you are like me and tiny umbrellas make you happy.


Strawberry-Watermelon Slushie
Recipe from Taste of Home

2 cups cubed seedless watermelon
1 pint fresh strawberries, halved (I actually used a little less than a pint.  Maybe 3/4 of it)
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C fresh lemon juice
2-4 C ice cubes
In a blender, combine the watermelon, strawberries, sugar and lemon juice; cover and process on high until smooth. With blender running, gradually add ice cubes until desired consistency is reached.  Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately.

Yield: 5-7 cups
