Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks (Use frozen for a thicker texture if desired)
- 1 cup Pineapple juice (Chilled)
- 1 cup Strawberries (Hulled and sliced fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup Water (For blending the strawberry mix)
- 1 tbsp Honey (Optional adjust to taste)
- 2 cups Ice (Divided equally between both blends)
- 1/2 unit Lime (Juice of 1/2 lime optional, for brightness)
Instructions
Prepare the Pineapple Blend:
- In your blender, combine 2 cups of fresh pineapple chunks, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 cup of ice, and the juice of 1/2 lime (if using).
- Blend until smooth yet slightly slushy in texture. Set aside.
Prepare the Strawberry Blend:
- Rinse and hull the strawberries, then add them to the blender along with 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp honey (if desired for extra sweetness), and 1 cup of ice.
- Blend until smooth, achieving a vibrant pink mixture.
Assemble the Swirl:
- Fill each tall glass about halfway with the pineapple blend.
- Gently pour in the strawberry blend over the back of a spoon or slowly into the glass to create a pretty swirling effect without completely mixing the two flavors.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Insert a straw, serve immediately, and enjoy your tropical, colorful slushies as a refreshing escape on a hot day!
Notes
- For a thicker slushie consistency, use frozen pineapple chunks or strawberries.
- Adjust the honey according to your preferred level of sweetness.
- These slushies are best enjoyed immediately to maintain their icy texture—if preparing in advance, give the blend a quick stir before serving.
Enjoy your Pineapple Strawberry Swirled Slushies—a tropical, colorful, and refreshing delight that’s perfect for any sunny day!
