Strawberry Watermelon Slushies

Nanci: Have you noticed that slushies and smoothies are everywhere? For years, Burger King, Dairy Queen and the gas stations were the only places that you could get a slushy but now Taco Bell and McDonald’s have jumped onto the slushy/smoothie bandwagon. If you watch the Taco Bell advertisement for the slushies, they even say at the end “contains no real fruit juice”. Bummer, eh?

Assembly Directions:
Put frozen strawberries into a blender. Cover and pulse until crushed. Add watermelon and blend until slushy. Add sugar and blend about 10 seconds. Serve immediately or freeze for later.

Freezing Directions:
There are lots of ways to freeze beverages. You can put the entire recipe into a freezer bag or a freezer container. If you use a bag, try to freeze it flat but don’t let your drink run all over the counter! If you use a freezer container, leave some space at the top for the beverage to expand as it freezes (it’s a science thing – trust me).

You can also purchase foam lidded cups at Costco, GFS or a restaurant supply store and freeze your drinks individually.
