    You're just three ingredients away from a simple, healthy, and delicious watermelon milkshake. It's so creamy good and perfect for summer!

    If you're enjoying watermelon this summer like we are, then you may find yourself with some leftover after a BBQ.

    This summer has been packed full of watermelon on our menu while we grill outside, but that leftover watermelon only lasts a few days in the fridge before it spoils, and there's only so much one can eat, right?

    We took our leftover watermelon and froze it in chunks. With those chunks, we have made several frozen watermelon recipes that are absolutely incredible. This melon milkshake recipe is one of them.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's good for you. This healthy milkshake is light, creamy, refreshing, and super simple to make. The fact that it can be made pretty healthy is just a bonus.
    2. It's adjustable. you can change the milk or sweetner, add more or add less. Switch up your drink however you want!
    3. It's quick and easy. With some already frozen melon, it's very quick to throw this recipe in a blender and pulse until smooth. You can have a glass in just a minute or two.

    ingredients needed to make watermelon milkshake in blender

    🥘 Ingredients

    Watermelon- You'll need about 3 or 4 cups of frozen watermelon, so plan this in advance to give your melon enough time to solidify in the freezer.

    Milk- Use regular milk, whole milk, or even non-dairy milk of choice like almond or coconut.

    Honey- To sweeten the drink just a tad, adding in honey really works great. Other sweeteners can be used as well (like agave or maple syrup)

    For the exact amounts needed, please see the recipe card below.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Adjusting consistency

    You can adjust this watermelon milkshake recipe to your own tastes by adding in more or less milk for a thicker/thinner drink.

    How to freeze watermelon

    It helps to have the watermelon cut into smaller chunks before freezing. I recommend slicing the watermelon and placing it on a baking sheet for a few hours to freeze solid before transferring them to a bag or airtight container, as this helps to prevent the pieces from sticking together.

    💭 FAQs

    Can I make a watermelon milkshake with ice cream?

    Yes, you can use ice cream or frozen yogurt to help thicken the drink and make it stretch even further. Start by adding 1 cup of ice cream and then taste and add more as desired.

    Is watermelon shake good for health?

    Watermelon has a high water content, so that alone makes this shake pretty hydrating (perfect for summer). Other health benefits can include the vitamins from the melon, calcium from the milk, and the antioxidants from the honey used too.

    Can I make a watermelon shake vegan?

    Yes! Swap out the honey for a vegan-friendly alternative like agave and use nondairy milk. Then this recipe can be safely consumed by your vegan friends.
