Next throw your all of the ingredients into the blender and ziz up until all the ice is crushed to your liking. You can adjust the amount of sugar you use but these were just sweet enough for us. I think the fresh fruit kept them perfect!

Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!!!

Why make these Homemade Summer Slushies at home?

Well as most of you know anywhere you go all of the frozen treat are loaded with either syrups, artificial sweeteners, and tons of sugar! Making these slushies at home helps you know what you are feeding yourself and the kids! These are mostly all fruit and a little sugar! So you can feel good about enjoying one and feeding the family them as well. For other ideas make sure to check out my post on How to Cut Out Processed Foods!
