There’s nothing more refreshing than a sweet and tangy strawberry lemonade slush, and with the Ninja SLUSHi machine, you can make it smooth, icy, and perfectly frozen—without any ice or blending! This recipe combines the bright citrusy kick of fresh lemon juice, the natural sweetness of strawberries, and a touch of simple syrup to create a deliciously cool drink that's perfect for summer days, backyard gatherings, or just when you need a frozen treat.
2cupsfrozen or fresh strawberriesOptional, will add more strawberry flavor.
2tablespoonslemon juiceOptional, will add more lemon flavor. 2 tablespoons-¼ cup. Adjust to suit your taste. ¼ cup is 1-2 lemons.
1-2tablespoonssimple syrupor sugar; I used 2 tablespoons. Add more to suit your taste.
Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until well combined. You can also use an immersion blender.Alternatively, if you aren't adding strawberries, simply combine the ingredients. There's no need to blend.
Add the mixture to the Ninja Slushi Machine. Power on the machine and press Slush.
Allow the machine to churn and freeze the mixture until the machine beeps to signal the cycle is finished. You can adjust the thickness of the mixture using the side panel. The Slush should take 20-30 minutes.
Pull the lever on the spout to dispense the drink. Serve.
Notes
Adjust the temperature setting based on how thick you want your slush.
Use less water for more flavor. You can also add more fruit, sweetener, etc.
I love to chill my serving glasses beforehand to keep the drinks extra cool.
