Clean Eating Slush Puppies
If you grew up drinking Slush Puppies (a.k.a. Slushies) then this is one recipe you’ll definitely want to try.
A fan on Facebook asked me if I could come up with a Slush Puppy recipe to help her get through the hot Canadian summer. Not being one to ever turn down a culinary challenge, I gave it a shot.
OMG! This is my new favorite summer treat! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how these turned out.
I used a Hibiscus Cooler juice blend that you can get at most health food stores (at least here in my area). But you could pretty much do any flavor you like as long as the juice is clean.
And it’s so easy to make, you won’t believe it. Here’s how:
Recipe Title
(Makes approximately 2 1/2 cups)
Ingredients
1 tray frozen juice cubes
1 tbsp. agave
Directions
Step 1 – Freeze some juice in the flavor of your choice overnight in an ice cube trays (I make several trays at a time).
Step 2 – Put the juice cubes and agave in a food processor (a blender may work as well).
Step 3 – Process or blend until you have a nice slush.
This is the juice I used in case you’re interested. I swear this made the BEST slushy EVER!!!
Eat and Enjoy!
Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
Let the little ones put the cubes in the processor or blender and push the button to turn it on. Older kids can serve.

Oh my gosh that looks delicious! I’m definitely going to make that this weekend for the kiddos!
Quite a few years ago one of my kids got an Icee Maker for Christmas. Of course it came with its own package of colored, flavored sugar that you’re supposed to use. We discovered that you can use practically any juice with it. It comes in really handy in the hot summer months. One of our favorites is just throwing some cut up melon in the blender to liquefy it and then run it through the icee maker.
Aaron – What a great idea! You could do that with just about any juicy fruit I would imagine. I’ll give that a try!
Catherine – They will LOVE it! My son sure does!
