Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for added sweetness
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
  • 1 cup crushed ice or more as needed

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the hulled and halved strawberries into the blender jar. Add a tablespoon of honey if you like a sweeter slushie.
  2. Squeeze in the freshly squeezed lime juice to bring a bright, tangy flavor and help soften the strawberries.
  3. Add the chopped mint leaves to infuse a refreshing, herbal note into the drink.
  4. Pour in the crushed ice, which will give the slushie its signature frozen texture.
  5. Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and icy, with no large berry chunks remaining. This should take about 30 seconds.
  6. Stop the blender and examine the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash of water or more lime juice and blend briefly to loosen.
  7. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, ensuring a generous amount of the vibrant, frosty mixture is visible.
  8. Garnish with additional mint leaves or a small lime wedge for a colorful, inviting presentation.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon to enjoy the icy, refreshing treat.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, skip any added dairy. Adjust the sweetness with honey or agave syrup as desired. Use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable for an even more intensely chilled slushie.
