Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gather your chopped fresh watermelon, an assortment of berries or melon, and the drained fruit cocktail. Stir gently until well mixed.
  2. Pour the creamy strawberry milk over the fruit medley. Use a spatula or spoon to gently fold the ingredients together for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the mixture and stir with a large spoon for about 30 seconds.
