Watermelon Slushies

Have you ever bought a giant watermelon because it was a good deal, and it sounded delicious and you just LOVE watermelon. Only to cut it all up, fill every fridge shelf with containers of watermelon and realize you will NEVER be able to get through all of this watermelon before it goes bad?

Well that happened to me...

My watermelon is definitely nearing the end of its life, but before I tossed it out, I wanted to try something with it...Watermelon Slushie!

So friends, I took some ice and put it in my magic bullet cup, I took a lime and squeezed some lime juice over the ice, and then plopped some ripe juice watermelon chunks on top. If your watermelon isn't that sweet you can add some sugar or other sweeteners if you like.
I then started blending!!!

As the ice and watermelon started to mix together I got more space in my bullet cup, so I added more watermelon and more ice...and continued blending until...
Yummy refreshing, juicy, Watermelon Slushie.

I had it for breakfast yesterday and it was so yummy I MUST do this again soon. And if you are over 21 and it is not a work day (or maybe it is) you could always add some sort of alcoholic beverage to the mix and make it a little more exciting. I'm also starting to think about what other flavors I could add too, like a little frozen strawberry or cherry, the possibilities are endless!

Also, my poor brown dogs, I was WAY overdue in brushing them, especially when it starts to turn warm outside they have lots of fur to shed. So I whipped out my Furminator Doggy brush- which Mason Brown Dog LOVES, and brushed away. Little Bella Brown is not a huge fan of being brushed though...too bad! This was only half of Mason's fur pile from yesterday, he looks very happy!
