Ingredients
For the Pineapple Slush:
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup pineapple juice or water
- 1 tbsp honey optional, for added sweetness
For the Strawberry Slush:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup strawberry juice or water
- 1 tbsp honey optional, for added sweetness
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple Slush: In a blender, combine 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks, 1 cup pineapple juice (or water), and 1 tbsp honey (if using). Blend until smooth and thick, adding more juice or water if too thick. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
- Prepare the Strawberry Slush: Rinse the blender, then combine 2 cups frozen strawberries, 1 cup strawberry juice (or water), and 1 tbsp honey (if using). Blend until smooth and thick, adjusting with more juice or water as needed.
- Assemble the Swirled Slushies: In 4 tall glasses, alternate spoonfuls of pineapple and strawberry slush to create layers. Use a spoon or straw to gently swirl the two flavors together for a marbled effect.
- Serve: Serve immediately with straws or spoons, garnished with a pineapple slice or strawberry if desired, for a perfect summer drink.
Notes
- Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen fruit ensures a thick, icy texture without needing extra ice, which can dilute flavors.
- High-Powered Blender: For a smooth slush, use a strong blender and scrape down sides as needed.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the fruit before blending and add honey only if needed for this summer drink.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy right after blending to maintain the slushie’s icy consistency.
- Chill Glasses: Pre-chill glasses in the freezer for an extra frosty experience.
