Can i add sugar in this recipe?
Sugar in place of maple syrup or agave? sure!
That looks so refreshing and beats having to use an ice cream maker
Thanks for this recipe! I eat a lot of watermelon as I find it filling and tasty. This sounds like a delicious twist!
Wow this sounds so good. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us.
Ohhh yummy! I would love this.. I wouldn’t add any spicy to it though since I hate spicy (although I do take cayenne in supplement pill form) anyway I would change the sweetener to stevia and probably use unsweetened almond milk but looks good.
My family loves watermelon so I know they will love this too thanks for sharing this recipe.
I love watermelon. I am going to try this recipe. There’s nothing better than a ripe sweet melon in the summer.
