# Expert tips:

01 -
  • The frozen watermelon creates the perfect slushy texture without needing ice that waters everything down
  • Coconut milk makes it feel tropical and luxurious while keeping it completely dairy-free
  • It comes together in literally five minutes, making it your emergency weapon for unexpected guests
02 -
  • Over-blending can make it too thin and watery, pulse just until smooth
  • If your watermelon wasn't frozen solid, add a handful of ice cubes
  • The slushie melts faster than you expect, so serve right away
03 -
  • Buy watermelon on sale and freeze it in bulk during peak season
  • Coconut water instead of coconut milk makes a lighter version perfect after workouts
  • Reserve some lime zest to sprinkle on top as garnish
