Create Cool Cookies with water melon


Watermelons

Ingredients
  • Watermelon
  • Vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt
  • Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
  1. Slice melon into 1-inch-thick slabs, then use cookie cutters to make shapes.
  2. Frost your treats with vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt (spoon the yogurt into a squeeze bottle to make decorating really fun and easy) and top them with sprinkles if you like.

Watermelon Sherbet Smoothie


Watermelon Sherbet Smoothies


Ingredients
  • 3 cups fresh watermelon cubes
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 cup watermelon, raspberry or lime sherbet
  • 4 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/2 cup miniature semisweet or white chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. About 10 minutes before you're ready to mix the smoothies, place four tall glasses in the freezer to frost. Then wash the whole melon as you would other fruits and vegetables, and cut it into quarters. (The number of quarters you'll need to yield 3 cups of cubes will depend on the size of the melon.)
  2. Slice each quarter you plan to use lengthwise into three wedges, then slice the flesh away from the rind. Use a fork to scrape away the seeds and chop the melon into cubes.
  3. Combine the crushed ice, watermelon cubes, lime juice and watermelon, raspberry, or lime sherbert, and blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture into the frosted glasses and top each one with a half dozen or so miniature chocolate chips. Serves 4.

Watermelon strawberry crush


Made with fresh fruit, this concoction is rich in flavor, color, and fun!
To serve 8-10 kids, you will need:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup sugar (white)
  • 8 cups cubed watermelon (seeded or unseeded)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)
  • 2 cups water
Pour/put all ingredients into a blender. Add ice, and blend until it is a slushy-like consistency (like an icee). The ice should be chopped enough that you do not see any chunks at first glance. Ready to serve.
Garnish ideas:
  • Strawberry (slit the strawberry slightly, and you slide it directly onto the rim of the glass)
  • Lemon wheel/wedge
  • Watermelon slice

Misty Melon Cooler

Double-Decker Malted


This frothy summer beverage  gets its refreshingly mellow flavor from chunks of super-ripe melon. For a tropical twist, try substituting 1 cup of mango chunks for half of the melon.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups diced very ripe melon
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • Vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
Instructions
  1. Place the melon chunks on a plate and place it in the freezer until the fruit is quite firm but not frozen solid, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. In a blender, puree the melon chunks with the orange juice and sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add 4 or 5 big scoops of ice cream or frozen yogurt and blend the mixture for another minute or so.
  3. Divide the cooler among four chilled glasses and serve. Makes four 8-ounce servings.

Peanut Butter Blast

Peanut Butter Blast


This milk shake is a refreshing treat, and it also offers protein, calcium, B vitamins, potassium, and a subtle dose of peanut butter flavor.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 3 to 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
  1. For each shake, mix the milk, peanut butter, and maple syrup or honey in a blender for several seconds, until smooth. Add the ice cream and pulse until just combined. Makes one 12-ounce shake.

    Variation: Omit the syrup or honey and, after blending in the ice cream, stir in 1 large chopped peanut butter cup.
