Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, and apple juice into a blender.
- Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker slurpee, use more frozen fruit or less juice. You can substitute the apple juice with coconut water for a tropical twist. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a little honey or agave syrup. For added flavor, consider blending in a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of spinach for extra nutrients, similar to the Green Stuff.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this slurpee in tall glasses, garnished with fresh strawberry slices or a mint sprig for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with light snacks like popcorn or fresh fruit, making it a perfect addition to a summer gathering. Consider serving alongside No-Bake Orange Slices And Balls for a delightful snack spread.
Storage & Reheating
This slurpee is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. When ready to consume, let it thaw slightly before blending again for a refreshing treat. Avoid storing in the refrigerator, as it may lose its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Is this slurpee suitable for vegans?
Absolutely! All the ingredients used in this slurpee are plant-based, making it a delicious option for anyone following a vegan diet. Enjoy it guilt-free!
How can I make this slurpee more nutritious?
To boost the nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or kale, which blends seamlessly and adds vitamins without altering the flavor much. You could also add chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
