Watermelon is technically a mushie right?

Thread Starter  

Soooo....Saturday I start mushies and I'm thinkin that watermelon fits that catergory. My granny eats it all the time with no teeth in...lol. I know it's a stretch but I reckon I might just chew some up and then spit it out just to taste it..(too much info)...The Soup de jour is getting a tad old.

Okay I'm done whining.

I did and it was fine.
NO seeds though. Not even those white ones in seedless.

Hmm....
Watermelon is mushy but it is really high in fiber. I have a hard time with it unless I cut it up into tiny pieces. Otherwise it doesn't break down enough with chewing to go through my stoma. I have a much easier time with honeydew and cantaloupe, but those definitely aren't true mushy but soft solids. Good luck :)

I was thinking you could probably make something (using watermelon) to make it go down even smother and easier - Like Watermelon Sorbet???? <how yoummy would THAT be?????>

Tried to do a search on www.foodnetwork.com, under watermelon sorbet (only found 1 recipe under Emeril's page for Spiked Watermelon Sorbet http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._30405,00.html otherwise if you do a search there, you get 144 results for sorbet <can be found here http://web.foodnetwork.com/food/web/...rchType=Recipe


Hope this gets the brain 'perculatin'

According to my bandster rules... if ya gotta chew it...

IT IS NOT A MUSHIE.

The sorbet, yep, or blended up... yep. But regular watermellon has to be chewed up, and that disqualifies it as a mushie.

Just the 2 cents from my doc's program.


BTW, for those watching their sugar intake, Watermellon is a VERY HIGH glycemic fruit. Berries are usually the best choice to those watching their sugar intake.

I love watermelon in the blender with some ice, water, Splenda, and lime juice. OH MAN!!! Talk about a slice of summer heaven!!!!!!!!! YUM!!!!!
