The other day, Josh came home with a carton of strawberries specifically to try to make a delicious strawberry slush. Once I heard that, I was so excited.

We did make one mistake though. We made them before our one-year old went to bed. And so of course, she wanted to try some. And she LOVED it. I don’t blame her. She kept wanting more and more.

The next time Josh made the strawberry slushies, it was just for us. No sharing needed. Though this recipe does make 3-4 servings… that just meant Josh and I got two servings of strawberry slush each. No complaints here.

It took us awhile to find the perfect balance of citrus to sugar to strawberries. Which meant a lot of taste testing. But finally, we found it. This strawberry slush recipe is perfectly balanced with the strawberry, tart, and sweet flavors.

I find that these strawberry slushies are like a more potent and flavorful version of a Sonic Strawberry Limeade. And healthier, too! If you wanted to make something more like a Strawberry Limeade or Cherry Limeade, you can always make about half of the strawberry slush, and then add some sparkling water to the rest of the glass.

Ingredients:

• Strawberries (fresh or frozen) - This is the key ingredient for these strawberry slushies.
• Agave nectar - This adds sweetness, but is better than using sugar, because it blends so nicely into the drink!
• Lemon - (you'll use the juice)
• Lime - (you'll use the juice)
• Ice - To cool down the drink and give it its "slushy" texture

Tips and tricks:

• If using frozen strawberries, you'll especially want to have a good blender to make sure they blend up properly. We have this blender and LOVE it.
• Using both lemon and lime juice provides the perfect balance and complexity.
• If you want to make it boozy, you can add a splash of vodka, gin, rum, or even tequila!
