Watermelon Slushie Recipe

Nostalgia, thy flavor is a sweet, icy beverage sipped through a straw, sometimes so quickly it results in brain freeze. It doesn’t matter how old we get—a nice, cold slushie will always be appreciated. These days, though, we prefer something that tastes good and is good for us instead of the artificially flavored, sugar-packed slushies of our youth.

This healthified slushie recipe from Poosh managing editor Nicole fits the bill: it’s delicious, refreshing, and good for the gut. The star ingredient, watermelon, is hydrating and provides fiber, which helps with digestion. Strawberries add more fiber plus the gut-healthy antioxidant glutathione, and pomegranate brings even more antioxidants. (Pro tip: for a tangy take, use frozen passion fruit cubes instead of strawberries.)
