Ingredients you need:

- Salt (this helps balance sweetness)
Health tips and alternatives:
- Use light coconut milk Instead of sweet condensed milk comes with milk-free, tropical twists. If needed, add a little honey or maple syrup.
- Reduce added sugar A rich choice by using condensed milk with less sweets or swapping cream in regular Greek yogurt.
- Add a small amount of frozen strawberries Or mango for extra flavor and beautiful color boost!
- Make it a popsicle: Pour the mixture into the popsicle mold and freeze for easy grab and drink.
- Let the kids help! Let the little one dig out the melon and add ingredients or taste tests to the blender for sweetness.

To the blender, add the juice from half of the lime, salt and about half of the sweetened condensed milk. Pour about half of the retained watermelon juice. Mix, pulsate if needed until smooth.

Continue to add more frozen watermelon to the blender, as well as extra sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and watermelon juice to give you the flavor and texture you like.
