Watermelon and Mint Slushie

This watermelon and mint slushie is definitely the most refreshing smoothie you could ask for in the heat of the summer. Apart from the fact that it tastes sublime it hydrates you in no time. Everything about it is refreshing from the watermelon itself, to the mint and crushed ice cubes. I make mine with strawberries to sweeten it and add a sprig of fresh mint leaves before blitzing. The mint leaves a refreshing aftertaste in your mouth to give you that extra zing!

My earliest memories of eating watermelon was my mum handing me a wedge of watermelon, taking a refreshing bite then and spitting out the black seeds onto the grass when she wasn’t looking! In those days we wouldn’t dream of having it as a slushie or in a smoothie. But I love it in a drink and can’t believe I didn’t make one sooner. High in water, antioxidants and electrolytes no wonder it is so hydrating. So simple to make in the thermomix, what are you waiting for!

This recipe for watermelon and mint slushie is perfect for any garden party. You can serve it in a large jug with sprigs of mint and slices of watermelon. Or you can just serve them in individual glasses like I did. I bought the glasses I served them in at Casa. Love that shop! They came in a wooden box marked summer party, perfect for this recipe don’t you think?
