# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The way fresh watermelon transforms into something velvety and luxurious feels like discovering a secret the whole time
  • It comes together in literally five minutes but tastes like you put way more thought into it
02 -
  • Frozen watermelon cubes instead of fresh ones turn this into basically a cross between a milkshake and sorbet
  • Overripe watermelon actually works better here than underripe ones because the flavor is so much more developed
03 -
  • Start with one tablespoon of sweetener because you can always add more but you cannot take it back
  • If your shake separates after sitting just give it a quick stir and it will come back together perfectly
