Ingredients
Scale
Pineapple Slushie
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (frozen)
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/4 cup cold water (as needed)
Strawberry Slushie
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and frozen)
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Juice of remaining 1/2 lime
- Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)
Instructions
- Blend Pineapple: In a blender, combine frozen pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using, and half the lime juice. Blend until smooth and slushy, adding cold water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- Set Aside Pineapple Mix: Pour the pineapple mixture into a bowl or jug and set aside to prepare the strawberry slushie.
- Blend Strawberries: Rinse the blender to remove pineapple residue, then add frozen strawberries, remaining pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using, and the rest of the lime juice. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Layer and Swirl: In serving glasses, alternate spoonfuls of pineapple and strawberry mixtures to create layers. Using a straw or spoon, gently swirl the layers to create a marbled effect.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the slushies right away for the best texture and freshness. Optionally, add ice cubes during blending for a thicker slush.
Notes
- For an adult version, add a splash of rum or vodka to either the pineapple or strawberry mix before blending.
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup or omit sweetener entirely if the fruit is very ripe and naturally sweet.
- To achieve a colder, thicker slushie, add a handful of ice cubes during blending.
