watermelon slushy

An insanely healthy & refreshing summertime drink. 

When the temperatures rise there’s nothing quite like a fresh fruit slushy to help rehydrate your body and quench your thirst. This watermelon and lime combo is perfectly sweet, is made with only real ingredients and is free from artificial colourings, flavours and sugar. It's a summer drink the whole family will luv. 

Made with frozen watermelon, a twist of fresh lime and a dash of maple to balance the flavours – this slushy is as simple as you can get, and because watermelon is made up of virtually just water, you don’t even need to blend ice to achieve the perfect icy texture. Watch the Vibe Blender System get the job done in under a minute.

On the day the sweetness of your slushy will depend on your watermelon. Add maple syrup to taste but don’t be afraid to be generous with lime juice – the combo is a summer days perfect match. For additional fun flavour variations, you can experiment with replacing water with fizzy water, coconut water, kefir water or kombucha. Also, fresh mint can be blended or just used as a garnish.
