📝 Ingredients
- 1 scoop Joliy Watermelon Bliss Protein Powder
- 1½ cups ice cubes
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons fresh watermelon, diced (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- A few fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste (optional, if desired)
Note: If your protein powder is already sweetened, you likely won’t need additional sweetener.
Directions
- Add the protein powder, cold water, ice cubes, watermelon (if using), and lime juice to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until the mixture becomes thick and slushy.
- If the slush is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water and blend for another 10–15 seconds.
- If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly.
- Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
- Serve immediately while the texture is icy and refreshing.
Heat Level: No cooking required.
Timing: Blend just until smooth to keep the slush thick and frozen.
Texture & Visual Cues: The drink should be thick, icy, smooth, and pale pink with a spoonable or sippable consistency.
High-Protein Cooking Tips: Blend the protein powder with liquid first before adding all the ice to help prevent clumping and create a smoother finish.
