Watermelon tastes like summer to me.

I love munching on sliced watermelon outside in our yard.

Slushies are also a taste of summer.

When I was growing up, we lived out in the country. There wasn’t any shops. I remember my mom driving down River Road in Andover and promising my friend Jimmy and I slushies from Barron’s Country Store.

It was a highlight of summer’s day, for sure,  especially when it was very HOT.

My kids love slushies, too, and I’ll often get them at Target when we’re shopping.

I don’t love all the sugar in them though.

So I thought it would be fun to share a really easy and

healthy watermelon slushie recipe!

Those look yummy Danielle! For another grown up version, tequilla and lime make a great frozen marg, minus all the extra sweetness of margarita mix (ick!). During the summer months, my sister is famous for whipping up her frozen fruit margs! Strawberry, watermelon, mango… Perfect summer party drinks!
