I know you don’t come here to hear me complain about the weather, so I will spare you the details… but let me just say it one time. It’s HOT!
Moving rapidly along… I will choose to focus on the positive and tell you all about how much I LOVE this Watermelon Coconut Lime Slushie and I’m sure you can imagine it’s pretty much saving my life as EVERY DAY is sunny and 111 degrees around these parts :0)
The boys and I make these ALL the TIME and they are super easy and super refreshing! Just add frozen watermelon chunks, a can of citrus soda, the juice of a lime, a few drops of coconut extract, and a scoop of ice, and BLEND!
No need to stop for slushies at the gas station, we like our version much better! Stay cool, friends!

Thank you!
Jane says
Looks yummy! Is there anything I can substitute for the soda??
Julie says
Jane, thanks! I think you could sub any fruit juice. Or maybe coconut water, but you’d need to add something like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to make up for the sweetness of the soda.
