Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slushie (Printable)

Frozen strawberries and lemon juice blended with sugar for a quick, icy summer refreshment.

# What You Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups frozen strawberries
02 - 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 medium lemons)
03 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar, or to taste

→ Optional Garnish

04 - Lemon slices
05 - Fresh mint leaves

# Steps:

01 - Roll and halve the lemons, then juice until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice; strain if desired to remove pulp.
02 - Place the frozen strawberries, measured lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar into a high-speed blender.
03 - Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy; pause to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure an even texture.
04 - Taste and add more sugar if desired; for a thinner consistency add up to 1/2 cup cold water or a few ice cubes and blend briefly to combine.
05 - Divide the slush between two glasses, garnish with lemon slices or mint leaves if using, and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The slushie is ridiculously easy but tastes like it took more effort—your secret is safe with me.
  • Its fresh, tangy flavor is a quick pick-me-up, perfect for lazy afternoons or unexpected guests.
02 -
  • If you pulse too long, the slushie melts fast so blend only until just combined.
  • Adding a splash of cold water can rescue an over-thick batch—I learned that the sticky way.
03 -
  • Keep berries stashed in the freezer for sudden cravings—this is your five-minute ticket to refreshment.
  • Using a high-powered blender saves you from stubborn ice chunks and guarantees the smoothest slush.
