Watermelon Slurpee
"This recipe was printed in the Vita-Mix Whole Foods cookbook. It is called a Watermelon Smoothie and I decided to change the name because it reminded me of those ice drinks you can get at a convenience store."

Love this recipe idea! Unfortuantely, my watermelon was not the best tasting (winter in Michigan) so I know the slurpee wasn't as excellent as it would normally be - which is why I'm still rating it a 5. I cannot wait to try this during the summer when the watermelons are really ripe and juicy! I found the guava juice in a can in the Mexican foods aisle at the grocery store. Thank you Paula! -
Yum!! This was so good I had to buy more watermelon! My kids loved this too! I made it with passion fruit juice also. Thanks for the recipe! -
YUMMY! I made this today since it was 103 degrees and we needed a refreshing drink. I added frozen strawberries instead of fresh berries and ice. I also used OJ since I didn't have guava juice. I agree that this could be a tasty grown up drink with some vodka! -
Delish!! The kids love this refreshing drink. I don't usually have guava juice on hand - but I DO have frozen orange juice concentrate. I've added about 2 T+ to the mix with a little water. I'm also using frozen strawberries. I could see how this would be a nice grown up drink with a little bit of vodka tossed in! ;) -
The kids have labeled this the best smoothie/slurpee ever. I did not have guava juice so I used a little honey instead. It was soo yummy.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
