Raw Vegan Watermelon Slushie

I have a special love for watermelons. When watermelons are in season, I just can’t get enough of them. I like them raw, as a smoothie, juiced, you name it. But one of my favorite ways, is to make slushies out of them. This raw vegan watermelon slushie recipe is very easy to make with pure ingredients, and unlike the commercially bought slushies with processed sugar, food coloring, and artificial flavors in them, these don’t lose flavor as you drink them. I hate that!
You just blend up some watermelon, freeze it, then put it back in the blender to make it into a slushie! That’s it! You have yourself a homemade delicious and nutritious watermelon slushie.

Watermelon is 91% water, and contains minerals like potassium and the health promoting lycopene. It has vitamins A, B6 and C plus tons of antioxidants and some amino acids, making it anti inflammatory and a very good sports drink. It’s nature’s natural cooler for a hot summer day.

So let’s get right into it. Start by roughly chopping up an organic, seedless watermelon, so it’s easier to blend in the blender.

Be careful not to add more than you need, as you can easily make it too thin and watery. If you don’t own a high speed blender like Vitamix or Blendtec, don’t add all the watermelon ice into the blender at once, do it in parts. If you have a Vitamix, use the tamper and blend it into a nice slushie. Too easy!
