This frosty little drink is tons healthier than sugar-packed shaved ice and slushies because it’s made with fruit and sweetened primarily by honey (although it can be sweetened to taste by any sweetener of choice).  It’s a great way to use up some watermelon and to cool off on a hot summer day.

Ingredients:

2 to 3 cups frozen watermelon cubes
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup water (use more as needed but be careful not to use too much or the taste will be lost)
Strained juice of 1/2 lemon or 1 lime
Sweetener to taste–try honey, maple syrup, sugar, low-cal sweetener, etc

 Place all ingredients in the blender and puree until smooth.  Serve immediately and enjoy!
