In case you are also on a Watermelon Sugar high and went into a Harry Styles-fueled frenzy after the release of his latest music video and bought a ton of watermelons, here’s eight of the most creative, tasty (and, of course, vegan) ways to use them.

1. Freeze watermelon pieces and blend with water and a dash of citrus juice for a refreshing (booze optional) watermelon slushie.
2. Another delicious frozen watermelon treat is this easy watermelon sorbet. You can also add coconut milk to make a vegan watermelon ice cream!
3. Watermelon is complemented by mint, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and vegan feta in this fresh salad.
4. Not really saying you should do this… but you should at least know you can make a vegan ham using watermelon.
5. Limeade and lemonade are significantly improved when blended with a few watermelon pieces.
6. Add tajín seasoning (or chili powder and lime juice) to slices of watermelon for a sweet and savory snack.
7. Include watermelon as one of your toppings on a fruit pizza.
8. Don’t waste those watermelon rinds—make some watermelon rind pickles!
