Remember ICEEs???
They were one of my all-time favorite childhood summer treats.
Alright . . . I shouldn’t speak of them in the past-tense. I definitely have at least one every summer still.
But I’ve finally found a healthy alternative. Maybe now ICEEs are a thing of the past . . .
Thanks to the brilliant idea I saw on Healthy. Happy. Life., I’ve been freezing melon lately. I’ve tried several kinds now – watermelon, cantaloupe, and canary melon. All delicious! But the thing about freezing melon is that it results in a very slushy icy consistency – much more watery than your typical smoothie.
Verrryyy reminiscent of an ICEE!!!
Happiness.
So here’s a delicious creation. Instead of having an ICEE full of sugar and artificial food coloring, enjoy my new Watermelon Superfood Slushie with fresh fruit and superfood juices!
Three ingredients!
serves 2
2 C frozen seedless watermelon cubes
1 C pomegranate juice
1/2 C acai juice
You can definitely mix and match your favorite melon and juices – I love the flavors of pomegranate and acai juice combined – tart pomegranate and sweet acai berry are wonderful together. Plus, who can argue with that powerhouse of antioxidants in what tastes like dessert?!
To make: blend everything together.
Ir-re-sis-ti-ble.
