Easy Strawberry Watermelon Slush


It has been *hot* here. Adjusting to our new little apartment has meant figuring out how to make life work without central air. So thankful that we have a little unit in our bedroom-but still it isn't quite as cool as our last house! All I want lately is cold drinks. 

  My need for icy beverages converged delightfully with some leftover watermelon and my lack of ingredients to make any of the recipes for watermelon slushes on Pinterest! I made up my own, and with only three simple ingredients, it will be easy for you to whip one up, too.

Here's all you need:
3 cups frozen watermelon cubes (I chopped mine into inch cubes and spread it on a plate and popped it in the freezer for about an hour)
1 and 1/2 c. frozen strawberries (I freeze mine after roughly quartering them.)
1 chilled can Mountain Dew (the secret ingredient!)

Start by blending the fruit and about 1/2 the soda. If you don't have a very powerful blender you will need to let the fruit work down before you add the remainder of the Dew. Finish blending to desired smoothness and serve immediately. Makes about 4 cup servings.

Not the absolute healthiest thing, but definitely better than drinking a straight can of soda! And so much more refreshing. Especially perfect if you missed out on the free Slurpees at 7-11 like we did-and I don't think those can be considered a serving of fruit!
