Author's Notes

This recipe is an excellent way to savor the goodness of watermelon and strawberries during the peak of summer and enjoy a refreshing drink anytime throughout the year. By using frozen watermelon and strawberries, you can preserve their delicious flavors and enjoy them whenever you want.

Adding watermelon rind to this recipe is a smart choice.

Incorporating watermelon rind into your slushie is a tasty way to reap these health benefits.
