Some people love ice cream, but here’s what I love even more: slushies! Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’d personally choose a real fruit slushie any day over ice cream. (Even my favorite, mint chocolate chip ice cream.) Why we love this recipe: Using just fresh fruit, sweetener, and ice, you can make a delicious summery drink that’s so light and refreshing! Alex and I love making these in the summer for parties. The berry flavor is sweet and bright, accentuated by a pop of citrus. It’s a spin on our watermelon slushie that we’ll never get tired of! Come try it out and tell us if you’re obsessed, too.
Fresh strawberries: Fresh berries have the best flavor here. If you want to use frozen berries, go to our Strawberry Smoothie. Sugar, maple syrup or honey: Use your favorite sweetener! We like using pure maple syrup. Orange juice or lime juice: You can make this one of two ways! Orange juice is a nice mild version, or use lime juice and water if you prefer for an even tangier version.
Strawberry watermelon slushie: Substitute 2 cups watermelon and 1 tablespoon lime juice for the orange juice. You can remove the water, since watermelon creates its own liquid when blended. Strawberry banana slushie: Add a banana to the ingredients in the recipe below. Strawberry blueberry, strawberry mango, strawberry peach, or strawberry pineapple slushie: Substitute half of the strawberries with half of these fruits to make a combination slushie. Other fruit slushies: Substitute all of the strawberries with fresh blueberries, chopped mango, chopped pineapple, or chopped peaches.
