There’s nothing like a glass of fresh, homemade lemonade at the end of a hot summer day. This version is so refreshing, hydrating and sweetened with honey {no refined sugars here}. The watermelon adds a delicious sweet flavor and gives the lemonade a beautiful pink hue.
{Blended} Watermelon Lemonade
Refreshing, hydrating, cooling, and oh so yummy!
Equipment: Blender
- ¼ cup freshly-squeezed organic lemon juice, about 2 lemons
- 2 cups organic seedless watermelon chunks
- 3 cups ice cubes (filtered water ice cubes)
- ¼ cup raw honey, preferably local (I use local raw creamed clover)
- Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons through small fine mesh strainer into blender.
- Add watermelon chunks to blender.
- Add ice cubes to blender.
- Add honey to blender.
- Blend on high speed until combined and slushy. My blender has an “ice crush” function, which is the highest speed; this is what I use to combine. If it’s not combining right away, use low/pulse button a couple of times, or give it a stir with a spoon (turn blender off first if stirring with spoon). Then increase speed up to high/”ice crush.”
- Serve immediately.
Yield: Varies, about 3-4 cups.
