How to Make Strawberry Slushie Drink

Step 2 – That is it! This slushie recipe is seriously so easy. Garnish with strawberries or lemons.  This is optional but adds a special touch to each serving of strawberry slushie.

Expert Tips

• Adding Ingredients – Make sure to add the water first to the blender to help incorporate the ingredients thoroughly.  
• Strawberry Slush Consistency – You can add more water if you want your slushy thinner and add more ice if you would like your slushy thicker.  
• Blender Recommendation – Make sure you have a good blender. I have a Vitamix and I love it. Now if a Vitamix isn’t in your budget, then I recommend a Waring professional blender. They are going to get the job done and you can get them for a good price.
