INGREDIENTS
YIELDS: 6 SERVINGS

Watermelon-Lime
1 6-to 7-lb. watermelon
Simple syrup (recipe, right)
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 4 limes (about 1/2 cup total)

Honeydew-Ginger-Mint
2 4-lb. honeydew melons

1 6-lb. cantaloupe
Simple syrup (recipe, right)
2 large sprigs fresh basil

DIRECTIONS
TOTAL TIME: 0:40
1.Remove the skin and seeds from the melon (pick one from above); cut into 2-inch pieces (you should be left with about 4 pounds total).

2.Make the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer (donā€™t stir) until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.

3.Remove from the heat and stir in the flavorings (everything but the melon); let cool completely. Strain into a small bowl or measuring cup.

4.In a blender, working in two batches, puree half the simple syrup mixture and half the melon until smooth. Strain into a metal loaf pan or square pan; repeat with remaining syrup and melon. Cover and freeze until set, about 8 hours.

5.When ready to serve, using a fork, scrape the surface of the melon ice to create large flakes. Transfer to glasses, top with a splash of soda water, and serve with additional fruit, if desired....

recipe at Design Dining Diapers.

Itā€™s something I came up with on a whim a few years ago when I was craving something sweet and refreshing and now Iā€™m turning it into an even healthier recipe by adding 7 Up TEN (Just 10 calories per serving! ).

For the punch. Mix a 50:50 ratio of 7 UP TEN 100 % Mango Smoothy Juice (I use Mighty Mango Naked Juice). Because I use a smoothy juice the punch is definitely on the thicker side. Just giving you a heads up!

I picked up the new 7 UP TEN at Safeway this weekend.

start by making a batch of fruit ice cubes. Simply throw 1-2 cups of raspberries and mangoes into a food processor along with a cup of water. Pulse until smooth.
