Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slushie (Printable)

Three-ingredient frozen strawberry lemonade slushie—bright citrus and sweet berries blended into an icy summer drink.

# What You Need:

→ Main Ingredients

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

→ Optional Garnish

04 - Lemon slices
05 - Fresh mint leaves

# How-To:

01 - Measure the frozen strawberries and sugar. Juice the lemons until you have 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and remove any seeds.
02 - Place the frozen strawberries, lemon juice and granulated sugar into a high-speed blender.
03 - Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy texture, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve even consistency.
04 - Taste and add additional sugar if desired. For a thinner consistency, add up to 1/2 cup cold water or a few ice cubes and pulse to combine. Divide between two glasses and garnish with lemon slices or mint, then serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • If you ever wished summer could last a little longer, this slushie is your shortcut to capturing that feeling in a glass.
  • It comes together in minutes, requires almost no clean-up, and the fresh lemon juice keeps it from ever tasting too sweet.
02 -
  • Using fruit that's too frozen makes the blender struggle and can leave you with stubborn chunks—if that happens, pause and stir before blending again.
  • One day I forgot to adjust the sugar after tasting and ended up with a tart surprise—now I always check before serving.
03 -
  • Always taste and adjust the sweetness after blending—berries can be fickle.
  • Scrape the sides of your blender halfway through to ensure no frozen pockets hide at the bottom.
