Ingredients

• 1/2 medium sized seedless Watermelon
• 3- 4 tsp Lime juice
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1-2 tsp Date Sugar or any natural whole food sweetener (optional, if you get a good quality watermelon)
• 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder (optional)

Instruction

1) Chop watermelon into big chunks and throw them in the blender. Add rest of the ingredients and blend away until you get a smooth textured puree. You could, straight away drink this — it’s AMAZING to taste!!

2) For slushy, pour this puree in an airtight glass container and freeze it for 4-5 hours. When it’s solid, take it out of the freezer and let it defrost for awhile, then take a fork and scrape away! You can scrape it like you see in this photo. This makes about 2-3 cups.
