Don’t miss out on this summertime Watermelon Cucumber Slushie! It’s the perfect, refreshing drink to cool down and hydrate with.

Watermelon Cucumber Slushies are a summertime must!

Anyone else grow up having those slushies {by another name} from 7-11? I admit I did, not as a kid really, but I did have them as a teen.

Have you seen the ingredients? They’re packed with food coloring, sugars and preservatives. Not to mention “natural flavorings” which can mean a slew of things since chemicals and MSG are allowed under that description. Yikes! No thanks.

But slushies are so much fun, and kids love them!

My family is kind os obsessed with watermelon during the summertime. In fact, my two girls can’t get enough of it. Cucumbers are another on of our summertime staples. They’re an easy vegetable to prepare plus they’re so refreshing.

Did you know that watermelon and cumber go so well together? Well … they do! They make the best combo!

My family loves these homemade Watermelon Cucumber Slushies. They still have a beautiful, bold color like mainstream slushies do. They taste delicious and refreshing plus there’s no junk in them! You won’t find any sugar in these, just real food ingredients.

I’m super excited to be sharing this Watermelon Cucumber Slushie recipe over at Hybrid Rasta Mama today!
