Today is free slurpee day at 7-eleven (because today is 7/11.. get it… right?)

Slurpees have an interesting history and they celebrated there 40 birthday last year.

But instead of heading to your local 7-11, why not make a healthier version?

Here is a recipe for a refreshing watermelon frozen drink:

Put about 2 cups of cubed watermelon into a blender container
add a handful of strawberries
2 tbsp. of sugar
1 1/2 cups of ice cubes

And blend well.
