Equipment

  • Blender
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 3 cups ice
  • 3 cups fresh watermelon
  • 1/2 cucumber peeled and sliced
  • 4 leaves fresh mint
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  •  Add all ingredients into a blender and blend for no more than 1 minute. Serve immediately. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy! Top with additional fresh mint or lime juice. I personally love some extra lime juice for that extra punch of tartness.

Notes

I recommend serving this recipe immediately. If you wait for too long the watermelon and ice will separate creating a residue at the top of the drink. You can simply stir with a straw, but I find enjoying it right away is best. 
You can also save and store this drink in a sealed mason jar and refrigerate for up to 5 days. When ready to enjoy, just pour into a blender with a couple pieces of fresh watermelon and 1/2 cup of ice to freshin' it up.
