Simple, energizing, and light. It’s a delightful treat on a sunny day because it’s naturally sweet. In fact, a tourist town in Florida offers the exact same thing for $5 each glass! Take advantage of sweet red, orange, or yellow bell peppers.

Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed seeded watermelon
- ½ red bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 3 cups ice
- 1 sprig fresh mint
Instructions
- Place the watermelon, red bell pepper, and ice in a blender, and blend until the ice is crushed and the drink is slushy. Pour into glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Can be stored in refrigerator up to 2 days.
- Do not use green bell pepper, because it tends to be more bitter than the red or yellow peppers.

Thanks, A.H. Wiggle;P, for this truly amazing slush! The refreshing crunch of the bell peppers really did it for me ??
Not my favorite. Yes very refreshing but the bell over powered all of the other flavors. I added coconut milk and still to much bell. Plus big pieces of bell skin in every sip. Might be better for a lunch drink rather than breakfast.
I was pleasantly surprised how well the watermelon and bell pepper went together. I will make this again for a quick and refreshing slush.
had tried this tonight, it is different i will give it that, but im thinking about playing around with the measurments and see if i can get the bell pepper taste to not be so over powering over the watermellon.
