Watermelon Key Lime Slushie

We have been on a bit of a slushie kick lately. The kiddos really enjoy them and so do I. Since making our Tropical Slushies and our Raspberry Lemonade Slushie, it seems as though slushies have become a staple in our diets, ha ha. I picked up a few watermelons to enjoy with for our grill-outs we had this past week and had some leftover watermelon.

I tossed the leftover watermelon in the freezer and planned to make my kids favorite 4 Ingredient Watermelon Sorbet. It is always a refreshing summertime treat for the kiddos. They were getting a bit impatient and requesting slushies after school so I just whipped these Watermelon Lime slushies in just a few minutes time.

The flavors in the slushie are similar to the sorbet but a bit more flavor can be found in the slushie. The addition of the key limes was just perfect.

These slushies are going to be added to the “Favorite Slushies” list. I am sure we will be making these for our summer bbqs this year. Since our family is a fan, I believe our friends and extended family will enjoy them as well. I can just whip up a few batches and set in the freezer beforehand.

I mentioned that these slushies only require just 3 simple ingredients. I added a fourth to mine, a dash of salt. I really liked the addition in mine. Feeel free to add just a bit of salt to your slushies too!
