Strawberry Watermelon Slushie
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.
It has been many months since I last purchased a large seedless watermelon. When I spotted one for just over $5, I couldn’t resist trying it. I always feel like I’m taking a chance this time of year to get a watermelon that just might taste like crunchy water. But now that I’ve learned a few tricks on the best way to pick out a watermelon, I feel more confident in finding a good one. This one did not disappoint. Wes really wanted to make a slushie with it so on Saturday morning I pulled out the already cubed fruit and we went to work making this Strawberry Watermelon Slushie for a refreshing watermelon drink. It was so good!
Making Watermelon Slushies with Kids
Blender drinks like slushies are a really fun recipe option for kids. It is really hard to mess up a drink and my kids have always loved getting creative with the ingredients. While I like to use fruit for my young kids, something like a Coke slushie is a super easy option and all you need is Coke and ice cubes!
Drinks are also a quick win and great summer recipe when you don’t want to turn on the oven.
Watermelon Slushie Ingredients:
To make this watermelon slushie recipe, you’ll need the following simple ingredients:
- fresh watermelon
- fresh or frozen strawberries
- honey
- ice
That is really all that is necessary for a refreshing summer drink!
You can certainly swap out the strawberries for your other favorite fruits but I think the watermelon and strawberry complement each other well and are similar in color so you get a nice and sweet pink drink!

We used frozen strawberries to make it even more frothy but fresh will also work.
We shared this big glass which actually has 1 1/2 servings. Wesley’s older brother Warren devoured the rest before it even had a chance to melt.

Watermelons and strawberries are pretty cheap right now and this drink looks refreshing and a good one for the 4th of July! I need to make this for my family that is coming over.
This is so perfect for this time of year. The whole family would really enjoy this.
This looks like the perfect treat for a hot summer afternoon.
Oh I love summer, so many yummy healthy options for my son and myself. I need to go get some fresh fruit today, so I’ll be making this. Thanks!
This would have been wonderful today! It just seems to be getting hotter and hotter.
It is super hot outside. I came in and found this recipe and cooled off. Delicious.
