A simple, refreshing watermelon frosty drink for summer.
Since it’s the unofficial last “summer” weekend, I figured we’d go out with the most quintessential summer fruit there is.
Watermelon.
(oh, look…there I am in the spoon again)
I hope you’re barbequing, hanging out at the beach or chilling at a pool like the rest of the country, but I also hope you have a blender nearby.
This is like a Wendy’s frosty gone fruity. It’s even got that exact same consistency right smack in the middle of being too thick for a straw and too liquidy for a spoon so you either look like an emaciated fish trying to suck it up or a giant slob trying to shove it in your face.
I know you know what I’m talking about. Don’t front.
Just try not to get it all over your white pants you’re rocking out that one last time.

Wow, I didn't expect this to be so good. The banana gives it creaminess and sweetness without it tasting like banana. My toddler really loved this too. It's good to have sugar-free drink recipes like this.

[…] 32. Watermelon Frosty Warning: This drink may cause brain freeze. It’s so good and so refreshingly cold (frozen watermelon chunks = brilliant) that you won’t be able to stop yourself from slurping it down at super speed. While the watermelon supplies a burst of juice, the creaminess of this frosty comes from heart-healthy bananas. The yellow fruit has been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, thanks to its fiber, potassium, and vitamins C and B6 content. […]
