Watermelon Milkshakes (Print Version)

Sweet watermelon meets creamy milk in this refreshing chilled beverage perfect for hot summer days.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled

→ Dairy

02 - 1 cup whole milk or any milk alternative
03 - 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

→ Sweetener

04 - 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar, optional to taste

→ Extras

05 - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, optional
06 - Ice cubes, optional for extra chill

# How To Make It:

01 - Place chilled watermelon cubes in blender, add milk, vanilla ice cream, and sweetener if using
02 - Stir in lime juice for tangy flavor enhancement
03 - Process on high speed until completely smooth and creamy
04 - Add ice cubes and blend again if thicker texture is desired
05 - Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately

# Handy Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes which matters when youre dying for something cold and refreshing
  • The watermelon does all the heavy lifting on natural sweetness so you can barely taste the dairy
  • Even people who swear they hate milkshakes find themselves asking for seconds
02 -
  • Freezing your watermelon cubes overnight completely transforms this into something that tastes like ice cream but somehow still feels light
  • The shake separates pretty quickly so serve it immediately rather than trying to make it ahead for a party
03 -
  • The riper your watermelon, the less sweetener youll need so taste a cube before you start blending
  • If your shake feels too thin, freeze it for 20 minutes and stir halfway through for an instant upgrade
