Cool down this summer with a refreshing watermelon cucumber slushie. This healthy summer drink recipe is simple and kid-friendly! With 3 wholesome, fresh ingredients and a blender, you can easily make this at home for yourself or for your kiddos. Add a shot or two to make this fun for the adults!
Oh, summer. How I love you.
Except when you're so hot and humid I break out in an insta-sweat as soon as I step outside. Southern living!
But it's kind of unavoidable when you have a child who LOVES being outside. I've been making iced coffee for myself, but of course, my little one needs a special drink for himself.
Watermelon Cucumber Slushie Recipe
Cue the 3-ingredient Watermelon Cucumber Slushie!
I quite enjoy this summer slushie, too. It's naturally sweet, refreshing, cold, and yum.
Cut up and freeze a bunch of watermelon cubes in advance, and you can make this slushie super fast on the fly. (If you're like me, I only cut up a half of a watermelon at a time, and freezing the other half is a great way to preserve that sweet treat and transform it into something delicious.)
In a world of convenience, it can be tough to eat healthy - but simple recipes like this make it almost effortless.
Pssst - did you notice those awesome glass straws?! They’re a great alternative to plastic straws, saving you money in the long run, and saving the earth and our ocean life from plastic waste. I found them on Amazon - and they even come with a special cleaning brush! LOVE. Even my toddler uses them (and hasn’t broken them! Score.)

I have made something similar with coconut water, but it didn't have cucumbers in in like your recipe does - which I LOVE! I wonder if I could premake and refrigerate this for my girls' birthday parties. I think it would work... Thanks for sharing on Simply Natural Saturdays!
