Ingredients
Watermelon Slushie
- 6 cups watermelon cubed, frozen overnight*
Coconut Milk Ice
- 1 can full fat coconut milk 13.5 oz can, refrigerated overnight
- 2 tsp. date syrup or liquid sweetener of choice**
- 1 1/2 tsp. fresh squeezed lime juice

Instructions
- Open the can of coconut milk and remove the top cream only to a blender or food processor. Reserve the liquid for another use (like a smoothie).

Remove to a small bowl, cover, and freeze while you prepare the watermelon slushie.
- Rinse and dry the blender or food processor. Now add the frozen watermelon chunks and process until a slushie consistency forms.
- Layer alternating layer of the coconut and watermelon slushie in 4 short serving glasses or bowls, as you wish.
- Top with slivered almonds and a drizzle of date syrup.
Recipe Notes
*Simply chop and put in a glass tupperware or zip-top bag and freeze. **For a less sweet treat, you can omit, especially if you will drizzle sweetener on top.
