Watermelon drinks have never crossed my mind as a thing to do. In my house, not a particularly creative bunch, we were just satisfied to consume the fruit as is. This summer I have seen a couple of watermelon drinks and they all seem to be laden with sugar. I am going through some personal revolution of not disrupting natural sweetness, by adding more, artificial or natural, sugar. So, I will attempt to highlight the beautiful watermelon with lemons and strawberries to make a no sugar added Watermelon Ice.

Watermelon Ice with No Added Sugar
Ingredients:

6 cups watermelon, chopped (and chilled peferebly)
2 cups strawberries, stems removed
Juice of 1 lemon

Directions:

Add watermelon chunks to your blender and blend into slushy.

Add in the strawberries and lemon juice, continue to blend until smooth.

Serve chilled and cheerfully garnished with watermelon, strawberries, umbrellas, etc.

My Verdict:

I really liked this watermelon ice. It was cool and refreshing, and without all the sugar, it was guilt free. The watermelon had a really green taste though. Something like what I would imagine cucumber water to taste and smell like.
