Memorial Day weekend is a time to remember and thank our veterans and the men and women in our military today for serving and protecting our country. It’s also a time for picnics, barbecues and LOTS of food and drinks! This holiday weekend celebrate by sharing a healthy, refreshing slush packed with brightly colored phytonutrients full of antioxidants and energy boosting, hydrating compounds. We spread some cheer at our town’s Memorial parade last weekend by passing out these yummy drinks.
3/4 cup (125 g) watermelon chunks
1 cup (150 g) frozen blueberries, plus 4 set aside for garnish
1/2 cup/4 oz (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
Lots of ice (I used 14-16 large cubes)
