Equipment

▢
High Speed Blender
▢
Measuring spoons & cups

Ingredients

▢ 2 cups frozen blueberries preferably organic for best flavor
▢ 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed for brightness
▢ 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup/agave for vegan option
▢ ½ cup cold water or use ice for a thicker slushie
▢ pinch salt just a tiny pinch to enhance flavor
▢ optional vanilla extract a few drops for depth

Instructions

Place the frozen blueberries into your high-speed blender. The berries should be solid and icy, ready to be crushed.
Add the lemon juice, honey, and a tiny pinch of salt to the blender. The bright citrus aroma will start to mingle with the berries.
Pour in the cold water or toss in a handful of ice, depending on your preferred thickness. This helps achieve that frosty, slushy texture.
Secure the lid and blend everything on high speed for about 30 seconds. You’ll hear the berries break down into a vibrant, icy mixture, with a crackling sound as it whirls.
Stop and check the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more water and blend briefly. If it’s too thin, toss in a few more ice cubes and pulse until thick and icy.
Once the mixture is smooth, taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity—add a little more honey or lemon if desired.
Pour the bright blue slushie into glasses. Garnish with a few fresh berries or a lemon wedge for a colorful touch.
Serve immediately to enjoy the icy, crackling texture at its best. Take a moment to savor that refreshing burst of berry flavor and chill.

Notes

For an extra creamy version, blend in a splash of coconut milk or Greek yogurt. To make ahead, freeze the blended mixture in ice cube trays and blend again when ready to serve.
