I want to share
with you a refreshing summer beverage I've been calling 'the Watermelon
Wake-up'. I saw a recipe for a watermelon slushie recently and adapted it. (Can't remember where! let me know if it's on your site and I'll mention it!) Much healthier than a frozen coffee drink, but still has a
bit of caffeine to help get your day going. 2 ingredients: Frozen
watermelon, and Green tea.
There is a little bit of prep for this one, so it's best to do it the day before.

-Chop up your watermelon into chunks and freeze it in a container or ziplock. (a lot is good so you can make these whenever you want!)
- Brew some green tea! or whatever tea you like. I used a combo of green and rasberry leaf. Let this cool and then keep it in the fridge.

I have a little handheld blender that makes this pretty easy, but your standard blender will be fine. So now just blend the two! I'm not much for measurements, but I'd say I used about 8oz tea, & 1 1/2 C. Frozen watermelon. Add more or less tea/watermelon depending how icy you want it. Enjoy!
