Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Slushie (Printable)

Frosty blend of frozen strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar—ready in five minutes. Bright, vegan, refreshing.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

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

→ Optional Garnish

04 - Lemon slices
05 - Fresh mint leaves

# How to Make It:

01 - Juice enough lemons to yield 1 cup of fresh lemon juice; strain if desired to remove pulp and seeds.
02 - Place the frozen strawberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar into a high-speed blender.
03 - Pulse and blend on medium-high until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy in texture, scraping down the sides as needed.
04 - Taste and add additional sugar to reach desired sweetness; for a thinner consistency, add up to 1/2 cup cold water or a few ice cubes and blend briefly.
05 - Divide the slush evenly between two glasses.
06 - Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This slushie feels like a secret shortcut to beating the heat—and it takes almost no time.
  • It's become my favorite because it's both tangy and sweet, and you can riff on it endlessly.
02 -
  • If you overfill the blender, the slushie won't blend evenly and you'll end up with rogue strawberry lumps.
  • A squeeze of extra lemon at the end takes the flavor up a notch—don't skip that final taste test.
03 -
  • Let your blender run a few extra seconds to keep tiny strawberry bits from sneaking into your last sip.
  • Hiding the sugar at the bottom of the blender helps it dissolve evenly—learned that after a few gritty surprises.
