Strawberry Watermelon Slush
This Strawberry Watermelon Slush blends frozen seedless watermelon cubes with fresh or frozen strawberries and lime juice into a refreshing, icy beverage.

Notes
- Freeze watermelon cubes spread out on a baking sheet to prevent sticking, and allow slight thawing before blending if frozen solid.
- If using fresh strawberries, adding a few ice cubes helps achieve a slushy texture.
- Lime juice can be swapped entirely or partially with lemon juice depending on preference.
- Sweetener like agave or coconut sugar may be added to taste if fruits are not very sweet.
- This mixture can be poured into popsicle molds and frozen for a frozen treat alternative.
