This strawberry watermelon slush is a lovely summertime refreshment! Only 3 simple, whole food ingredients… all naturally sweetened, with no refined sugar.

I walked into our food co-op the other day to find myself swimming in a sea of giant watermelons. (Melon heaven!) Which of course means one thing: summer is officially here! My 5 year old daughter goes wild for watermelon, so I wanted a fresh new way for us to enjoy it. She’s a big fan of tangy lemon/lime flavor (and also of course strawberries) so it all seemed like a perfect match.

Plus, can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome nature is for providing us with hot pink food? I’m also guessing these would make awesome frozen fruit pops as well if you want to go that route. See the notes below the recipe for some additional tips/variations.
Organic vs. Conventional Produce
Quick note: in my experience, there’s a big difference in the quality and taste between organic, non-GMO vs. conventional produce. (Also in addition to the environmental & health benefits.) If it’s available in your area, I highly recommend buying organic when possible. Especially for this drink when ripe, flavorful melons & berries can make all the difference!
