*I used strawberries (1 lb) previously and the added sugar is really up to you as to how much you want to add in – it depends on how sweet the fruit is as well as how sweet in taste you like them. With my strawberry ones I didn’t add sugar at all. With this watermelon one I did as it was not sweet at all. I always start with one tablespoon and then add an additional one and taste in between to see if it needs more.

*The lime juice really makes the watermelon flavor pop.   You can always add a little additional if you like. Some fruits pair better with lemon, but in this case, watermelon goes great with lime!

*If I have extra mint leaves (that I’ve bought for the week) I’ll add actual mint into the blender. vs just the mint syrup. I like mint with watermelon – and again, because this watermelon was not the greatest, more mint could’ve really helped improve the flavor.
