You're just moments away from a simple, tasty, and refreshing 3 ingredient watermelon milkshake. It's so delicious and perfect for summer!
Recipe: $3.06 | Per Serving: $1.53 | Servings: 2
If you're enjoying watermelon this summer like we are, then you may find yourself with some leftover watermelon on hand after those BBQs and celebrations.
Our summer has been packed full of watermelon on the menu, 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?
To combat this, 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.
We love to How to Stockpile Food On a Budget and Make a Healthy Grocery List On a Budget, and one of the ways we do that is by buying in-season produce and freezing it for later.

🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
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. If you still have watermelon, check out our Pineapple Watermelon Banana Smoothie and Watermelon Smoothie Bowl too!
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)

🍴 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 it to a bag or airtight container, as this helps to prevent the pieces from sticking together.
💭 Recipe FAQs
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.
Watermelon contains a significant amount of water, making this shake quite hydrating, which is ideal for summer. Other benefits may include the vitamins found in the melon, calcium from the milk, and the presence of antioxidants in the honey used as well.
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.
