How to Make a Fruit Juice Slushie
Here’s how we make our homemade slushies.
Add about 1 1/2 cups of ice (crushed makes for a faster slushie) to your blender.
Add your favorite fruit juice, filling it to just below the top of the ice.
Pulse on ice crush for about 20 pulses…
then blend on high for about 10 seconds to get a great consistency.
That’s it! Pour the mixture into a glass and enjoy. This is great because each person can have whatever juice they love to get the taste they want. Apple juice, grape juice, and pineapple juice are favorite flavors for us.
This makes 1 serving. I hope you enjoy your fruit juice slushie when you give it a try!
