Ingredients

For the Pineapple Slush:

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup pineapple juice or water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

For the Strawberry Slush:

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberry juice or water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Slices of pineapple or strawberries

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pineapple Slush

  1. In a blender, combine the frozen pineapple chunks , pineapple juice or water , and honey (if using).
  2. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Pour the pineapple slush into a bowl or pitcher and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Slush

  1. Rinse out the blender and add the frozen strawberries , strawberry juice or water , and honey (if using).
  2. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy. Again, adjust the consistency by adding more liquid if needed.
  3. Pour the strawberry slush into a separate bowl or pitcher.

Step 3: Assemble the Swirled Slushies

  1. Fill a glass halfway with the pineapple slush .
  2. Gently spoon or pour the strawberry slush over the top to create a layered or swirled effect. For a marbled look, use a spoon or straw to lightly swirl the two flavors together.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or slices of pineapple and strawberries for an extra touch of color and freshness.
  2. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the tropical-meets-berry goodness!

Tips for Success

  • Sweetness Adjustment: Taste the slush mixtures before blending completely. Add more honey or skip it entirely depending on the natural sweetness of your fruit.
  • Juice Substitution: Coconut water can be used instead of pineapple or strawberry juice for a lighter, subtly sweet twist.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the slush mixtures in advance and store them in separate airtight containers in the freezer. Blend again briefly before serving to refresh the texture.
  • Alcoholic Twist: For an adult version, add a splash of rum, vodka, or sparkling wine to each slushie before serving.
