In the heat of summer, I consider watermelon to be a food group all by itself!
My family, at least, can never get enough watermelon. Not a week goes by that we don’t buy a red beauty and slice it up to enjoy.
We put watermelon in smoothies, add it to lemonade and switchel, make pints of watermelon ice cream, and simply eat it as-is or with a pinch of sea salt.
One of my family’s favorite ways to enjoy this summertime fruit is in a sugar-free, keto-friendly Watermelon Lime Cooler. It’s blended to perfection, deliciously slushy, and so refreshing!
The best thing about this 5-ingredient drink is the whole family can enjoy it!
There’s no alcohol — just lots of watermelon, tangy lime juice, and some additional bubbly probiotic goodness in the form of water kefir or Kombucha. If your kids aren’t used to the flavor of fermented drinks (yet 😉 ), don’t worry — it’s masked by the watermelon and lime.
Ready to make this delectable drink for your next summer potluck, BBQ, or just because? You’ll need a blender and 5 simple ingredients!

Recipe Notes
- Stevia brands vary in sweetness, the best thing to do is do a taste test to decide whether or not you’ll need to add more to yours.

I hope you get to try some soon Billy! It’s such a fun summertime drink and so refreshing. I think your family will love it. 🙂
I just made this for my family and we all LOVED it! Very refreshing.
All the recipes add stevia, I really don’t like stevia. What else can I use for a sweetener?
