Watermelon Strawberry Frappe Swirl
Chill Vibes Only: Watermelon Strawberry Frappe Swirl 🍉🍓
Ugh, can I just say—who doesn’t love a refreshing drink when it’s hot as Hades outside? Like, I’m literally sweating just thinking about it! 😂 Seriously, if you’re craving something fruity and chilled, this Watermelon Strawberry Frappe Swirl is like, the *perfect* summer sip. Trust me, it tastes like a vacation in a cup!
Okay, let’s chat about ingredients! 🛒 So, you’ll need:
– 2 cups of watermelon (that juicy, sweet stuff)
– 1 cup strawberries (like, the redder the better, ya know?)
– 1 cup coconut water (it’s like a tropical hug)
– 1 tablespoon honey (totally optional, but it’s a nice touch)
– 1 cup ice (duh)
– And some fresh mint leaves for garnish because, aesthetic. 🌿
So here’s the thing—this drink is kinda special to me. Like, last summer, I was chilling at the beach with my bestie, and she whipped this up. We were so hot and sticky, and then BAM! She pours us these frozen delights, and I’m telling you, it was like a total game changer. We sat on the sand, sipping these bad boys, and it just felt like pure bliss. 😍 Now whenever it’s hot out, I’m like, *we gotta make Frappe Swirls!*
Now, here’s the one trick that changes everything: blend the heck outta that watermelon and strawberries! Like, get it super smooth first, then add the ice. If you toss in the ice too early, it’s just gonna turn into a slushy mess instead of this gorgeous frosty swirl. So, be patient!
Don’t mess this up, okay? Here are my top tips so you don’t end up with a watery disaster:
1. Make sure your fruit is really ripe. No one wants sour watermelon. Yikes!
2. Start checking the blend at like, 30 seconds. You want it smooth, but not over blended into a smoothie.
3. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water.
4. And for the love of all that’s good, don’t skip the mint! It takes it from “meh” to “wow.”
How to keep ‘em from disappearing? (Or, like, how to store them?) Honestly, they’re best fresh, but if you have leftovers, pour them into an airtight container and stick ‘em in the freezer! Just be ready to blend it again later because it’ll get all icy and hard.
If you liked this, you’ll probably like these too:

– Classic Strawberry Lemonade (so refreshing!)
– Coconut Chia Pudding (for a healthy sweet treat!)
So, what are your go-to summer drinks? I’m always on the lookout for more! 🍹✨
