This Watermelon Float is a super easy treat. Think root beer float but better! This is a really refreshing treat and one that can be had with low guilt. Use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and diet soda to shave off a few calories. Pin for Later!
I love sleepy summer days with my boys. Now that they are getting a bit older they are starting to enjoy lazy days where we just hang around, catch up on some reading, catch up on some movies, catch up on some stories, catch up on some new recipes.. wherever your mood takes you. On these days I love to make some sweet treats for my boys. Something a little special and out of our every day normal. This Watermelon Float is a super easy treat and every one of my boys enjoyed it. Think root beer float but better!
This time of year Watermelons are filling our markets. They are sweet and juicy and I find myself craving it often. I decided to get a bit more creative with all this watermelon I keep on buying.
This is a really refreshing treat and one that can be had with low guilt. Use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and diet soda to shave off a few calories. So sit back and relax and enjoy this treat with your kids.

What a delicious recipe! I love the addition of lemon-lime soda...a nice contrast to the sweet melon and smooth vanilla ice cream. I wonder what this would taste like with lime sorbet and mint leaves? You could permute this recipe in so many ways - thanks for the great inspiration. Watermelon is one of my favourite fruits!
