Calling all slushie lovers!! Cool down this summer with this frozen fruit infused slushie that's perfect to sip on during the summer time. All you need are some strawberries, ice and dates and no more than 5 minutes of your time.

Those of you who are fortunate enough to live in an annually hot climate, will be overjoyed with this simple strawberry slushie recipe, so tasty, no syrup required and totally child friendly.

I'm experiencing a nostalgic moment with this recipe in particular, as it reminds me of when I was a young girl.

I would often purchase a slushie drink en route from school, whenever the weather was scotching hot. I relished the opportunity to cool off with a quick trip to the shops for some slushie.

I was addicted to them and enjoy them as much as Jamaican Suck Suck, to the extent that I do recall my failed efforts at trying to make a topical flavoured slushie. Back then I didn't have the luxury of a high speed blender.

Now that I think about it I'm not even sure what equipment I used for my sub par attempt? One thing I do know is how terrible the results were.

Although I was very young, that memory still remains in the forefront of my mind.

It still didn't put me of making other strawberry recipes like a  Strawberry and Banana Smoothie or Strawberries and Whipped Cream

Reasons to make a slushie

  • You can make a slushie within a matter of minutes
  • You only need a blender and a handful of easy to obtain ingredients
  • It's super healthy just like my Dairy Free Banana Ice Cream
  • Taste delicious and even kids will love them too

The steps

  • Add the strawberries along with the ice and dates to your blender
  • Blitz together with the large quantity of ice and some dates for extra sweetness.

Other variations

Even though I don't drink alcohol I'm not here to judge others. You can easily turn a would be child friendly slushie into a drink that's suitable for grown ups;

  • Alcohol: Vodka, Rum or Hennessy (the amount you add it up to you)
  • Rum essence: To give that taste of alcohol without the feeling of intoxication.
  • Fruit: Watermelon, banana, lime lemon, blueberries or cherries are great options. Use half the suggested fruit to mix things up!

What equipment do I need to make a slushie?

As always I do recommend using a powerful blender that completely pulses and combines all of the ingredients together.

Notes and tips

  • Double or triple the recipe as needed
  • The use of dates is optional and are included only dependent upon the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Feel Free to use an alternative sweetener like maple or agave syrup.
  • There's the option to use half ice and half strawberries or use frozen strawberries and leave out the ice instead.
