A quick and easy frozen strawberry lemonade slushie that is bright, tangy, and perfect for beating the summer heat with a refreshing icy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold water
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups (120-180g) ice cubes
  • 4–5 fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll 3-4 fresh lemons firmly on the counter to loosen the juice. Cut them in half and juice until you have 1/2 cup (120ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain if you want to avoid pulp. (About 5 minutes)
  2. In your blender jar, combine 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice, 1 cup (240ml) cold water, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar. If using, toss in fresh mint leaves now for subtle herbal flavor. (1-2 minutes)
  3. Pulse a few times to break down the frozen berries and mix ingredients. Then blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth but still thick. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed. (2 minutes)
  4. Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups (120-180g) ice cubes to the blender. Blend again on high until the ice crushes into a fluffy slush—usually about 30-45 seconds. Avoid over-blending or the ice will melt too much and thin the drink. (2 minutes)
  5. Give it a quick taste. If too tart, add a little more sugar or sweetener and blend for 10 seconds to combine. (1 minute)
  6. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry or lemon slice if you like. Serve immediately for maximum icy freshness. (1 minute)

Notes

Use frozen strawberries for best icy texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Avoid over-blending ice to prevent watery texture. For a bubbly twist, substitute water with sparkling water. Leftovers can be stored in the freezer up to 24 hours and re-blended before serving.
