Ingredients Needed
- 4 cups of cubed watermelon (seedless preferred)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

Start by placing the cubed watermelon in a blender. Add the crumbled feta cheese and honey if you prefer a touch of sweetness. Pour in the cold water or add ice cubes to help achieve a slushie consistency. Blend until smooth and frosty.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey. For a thicker, more icy texture, blend in additional ice cubes. Once ready, pour the slushie into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
