A 5-minute frosty blend of strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar for a bright, cooling summer drink.

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

→ Optional Garnish

04 - Lemon slices (for garnish)
05 - Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

01 - Place frozen strawberries, lemon juice and granulated sugar into a high-speed blender.
02 - Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy texture, scraping down the sides as needed.

# Pro Advice:

01 -
  • Only three ingredients stand between you and pure slushie bliss—and no one will ever guess how effortless it is.
  • Every sip is intensely refreshing and tastes like a heatwave remedy straight from the freezer.
02 -
  • Blending too long can turn your slush into juice before you know it—watch it closely.
  • Once I swapped bottled lemon juice in a hurry and regretted it; real lemons completely transform the flavor.
03 -
  • Give your lemons a firm roll on the counter before cutting—they’ll yield more juice every time.
  • Starting the blender slowly then cranking it up keeps things from jamming and gets you that perfect fluffy slush.
