Summer Slushies from 7-11, Taco Bell, and Sonic used to be on our summer bucket list every year. There is just something so refreshing about these icy drinks on a hot summer day! But, they are sadly loaded with refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors…yikes!
So, I was determined this summer to figure out an alternative. I was shocked by how easy it was! This almost doesn’t even feel like a recipe, but aren’t those the best kind?! And seriously, every parent needs to know about this one. I included several variations, based on what you have on hand. We found the all juice blender method to be the most “slushie” like, but they are all delicious! I hope you have fun playing around with the possibilities of this one and let me know what combos were your faves!
NOTE IF YOU ARE ON A WHOLE30: Yes, these are Whole30 compliant. However, it’s not ideal to drink large amounts of fruit juice or fruit based smoothies, as it’s all the sweetness of the fruit without all the fiber or volume. It could make a fun drink for a party or fun family night but I wouldn’t recommend it on the daily and use some personal responsibility as to if this has a healthy place in your Whole30.
