Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slushie (Printable version)

Frosty blend of frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and sugar—ready in five minutes. Garnish with mint or lemon.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

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

→ Optional Garnish

04 - Lemon slices, for garnish
05 - Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

# How To Make:

01 - Measure the frozen strawberries and lemon juice; have the sugar and any garnishes ready. If lemons are whole, juice until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
02 - Place the frozen strawberries, lemon juice and sugar into a high-speed blender.
03 - Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy texture, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary.
04 - Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired; if a thinner consistency is preferred, blend in up to 1/2 cup cold water or a few ice cubes. Divide between two glasses and garnish with lemon slices or mint.

# Expert Advice:

  • It tastes like summer in a glass, but takes less time than sending a text.
  • No fancy prep required—just toss everything in and hit blend.
02 -
  • If you use too many ice cubes, the drink gets watery and loses its punch.

03 -
  • Let strawberries thaw for two minutes before blending for easier mixing.
  • Sneak in a pinch of salt to lift the flavors and make each sip sing.
