Watermelon is made up of around 92% of water, so each sip of this granita is hydrating and has significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, lycopene, antioxidants and amino acids. Plus, this quintessential summer drink is fat-free, low in sodium and is extremely low in calories!

For other healthy sweeteners, you can substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave, and maybe add a touch of lime to make the flavors pop!
