Cut A Watermelon Into Cubes Quickly
This watermelon slicing hack will cube your watermelon so much faster. Most people cut the rind off the watermelon first, and then cut it into slices before cubing. This method cuts down on your slicing time by quite a bit!
Watermelon Pizza
Watermelon Pizza is another super simple way to change up your normal watermelon snacking. I like this banana and peanut butter combo on this pizza. You can also spread yogurt as your “sauce” then top with fruit, and it’s pretty delicious.
Honey Lime Watermelon Granita
A granita is kind of like a slushies’ older yet more sophisticated Italian cousin. Make this super easy watermelon granita for a great sweet summer treat.
Watermelon Cake
This is another fun party trick, make a watermelon into a cake! Decorate your cake with fruit, or you can even “frost” it with yogurt or whipped cream. Yum!
