Easy How-To

Get Ready to Blend!

Okay, first things first… take a moment to grab your favorite fruits. You can go for strawberries, bananas, maybe even a cheeky bit of pineapple. Just make sure to wash them well and chop them into smaller bits. Trust me, it makes the blending part way easier. Then, spread ’em out on a baking sheet and chuck them in the freezer for—like, um—about four hours, till they’re nice and solid. This is crucial, folks, if we want that slushy texture… so don’t skip this part!

Good to Know

• If you aren’t feeling adventurous, stick to one or two fruits for a classic taste.
• For a thicker slushy, use less juice. If you want it thinner, add more juice—super easy.
• They’re best fresh, but you can stash leftovers in the freezer… just know they might lose a bit of that delightful texture when you refreeze them.

Serving Ideas

• Pour it into chilled glasses and top with extra fruit or those mint leaves to make it look fancy!

Top Tricks

• Keep your glasses in the freezer before serving—it makes the slushy even colder and oh-so-refreshing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit?

Absolutely, frozen fruit is the way to go! It usually makes for a thicker, creamier slushy… just perfect, really.

How long can I store leftover slushy?

Well, the best part is to drink it right after making it. But if you have extras, toss ’em in the freezer for a little while, though keep in mind they won’t be as dreamy as fresh.

What types of fruit work best for slushies?

Fruits like berries, mangoes, and even pineapples are just amazing. They’ve got that perfect sweetness and texture for slushies.

Is it possible to make a slushy without a blender?

It’s a bit tricky, but you can crush ice and mash fruits by hand… but it won’t be as smooth. A blender does the trick way better.
