I absolutely LOVE watermelon. Nothing says summer like slicing open a big green melon and watching your two-year-old eat a slice while juice runs down his chin.For me, watermelon is best the day you slice it open and the next few days. Any longer in the refrigerator and it loses its crispness. Since my little family cannot eat an entire watermelon that fast, I was trying to figure out what to do about the excess. Then I came across frozen watermelon smoothies.
I had heard that you can't freeze watermelon, but that's not true. You can if you don't really intend to thaw it out completely. Here's how to make delicious watermelon smoothies. They are super fast and easy.
This will make a yummy watermelon slush. If you would prefer something more creamy, leave out the sugar and lime juice and just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or an 8 oz. lemon yogurt.*Slice watermelon into cubes and freeze (a ziploc bag works well).
*Take frozen watermelon cubes and thaw slightly to make blending easier.
*Add a teaspoon of sugar (or more depending on the sweetness of your melon)
*Add 1 tsp lime juice
Blend until smooth.
Enjoy!
