Ingredients
4 cups fresh watermelon cubes (frozen for 1 hour for best results)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into 1-inch cubes and removing any large black seeds.
Step 2: Place the lime juice and honey into the Ninja pitcher first to ensure the liquid is at the bottom.
Step 3: Add the watermelon cubes and ice on top of the liquid ingredients.
Step 4: Pulse the machine several times to break down the large chunks, then use the ‘Slush’ setting for 30-45 seconds until smooth.
Step 5: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with a sprig of mint, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a smoother consistency, ensure your watermelon is very cold or slightly frozen before blending.
