'Seeded' Watermelon Frosty




The watermelon frosty was great…could have used less maple syrup! Probably depends on the fruit and your own taste, but very cute and I actually liked the chia seeds in it (me and chia have an iffy relationship at present) so this is good. 

Watermelon Frosty 
2 1/4 c. frozen watermelon cubes
1/2 c. water (approximately)
2 T. maple syrup
1 large lemon, squeezed (lime juice also works very well! use 2 limes)
1 fresh banana

Blend. Fold in about 1/2 t. of chia seeds per glass. Serve!
See link here, and more chia information
optional: a few dashes of cayenne powder in the blender or over top when you serve!
Garnish: a few slices of watermelon - with rind on - frozen. Serves 2
