Ingredients

• 4 cups Watermelon (seedless, cubed)
• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or substitute with agave syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the watermelon. Remove the rind and cut the fruit into small cubes, ensuring that it is seedless. Measure out 4 cups of watermelon cubes and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

2. Freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.

Step 3

3. Once the watermelon cubes are frozen, transfer them to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the low-fat Greek yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and freshly squeezed lime juice.

Step 4

4. Blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or use a tamper tool if your blender has one.

Step 5

5. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup, if necessary.

Step 6

6. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Place it in the freezer for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up the texture.

Step 7

7. Scoop the low-fat watermelon ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing and healthy treat!
