Melon Slurpee

Since the kids are off on a summer break, I have been busy making them happy with their favorite breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, and this one is just one more of their favorite "cool me off this summer" drinks. However keeping my kids in the house is not possible, so we do go out every chance we get, hitting pool and getting active in out local parks. When we get in, when we want something more refreshing, maybe better than ice-cream since it is low in calories and guilt free beverage, I am making all kinds of ice smoothies, and in this case Slurpee!

I don't have Slurpee machine, but I have to tell you that is much better than if you go and buy any of the ice smoothies or Slurpee's because I didn't use food coloring, it has less sugar, and most important it is natural and organic fruit!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of cold watermelon, cut into chunks
• 3 slices of cantaloupe, cut into chunks
• (you can use honey dew)
• 1/2 Tbs. sugar
• 2 cups of crushed ice, divide or each

Directions:

1. In a food processor or blender put watermelon chunks with ice, and mix.
2. Pour into glass and place in freezer.
3. After that wash the food processor/blender and place cantaloupe chunks with 1/2 Tbs. sugar and ice.
4. Mix it until it is well blended. 
5. Pour on top of the watermelon which should get bit frozen and will hold a cantaloupe on top.

You can save yourself time and mix both fruit together!

Taste is sensational as well as the smell when two melons meet together in one cup, it is sweet but not to sweet, cold, refreshing and kids love it!!!

PS. You can make this adult version and add your favorite alcoholic drink!!!

Enjoy and Slurp your way this summer!!!!
