A refreshing and healthy dessert made from ripe watermelon, lime juice, and a touch of sweetener, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients

- Place the frozen watermelon cubes into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Add the fresh lime juice, sweetener, and a pinch of salt over the frozen fruit.
- Blend on low, gradually increasing the speed, adding water or coconut water as needed until smooth.

Notes
Ensure to taste the watermelon before freezing to adjust sweetness. Use a metal container for freezing for better results.
