DIRECTIONS
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine all ingredients until smooth.
Pour into a shallow glass container and put in the freezer for about 30 minutes. When you take it out, it should be partially frozen (like a slushie). Use a fork to break it up a bit.
If you want it more frozen, pop it back in the freezer for another 30 minutes or so. "Shave" with a fork, serve, and enjoy.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 watermelon large, seedless, cut into chunks
1 Tbsp lime juice
