Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or frozen)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (divided)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice cubes (adjust as desired for texture)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup water or coconut water (for blending)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Using frozen fruit is optional and can help achieve a thicker slushy texture without additional ice.
  2. Blend Pineapple Base: In a blender, combine pineapple chunks, half of the lemon juice, and about a cup of ice cubes. Blend until smooth and icy. Add sugar or honey if additional sweetness is desired. Transfer the pineapple blend to a separate bowl or container.
  3. Blend Strawberry Swirl: Blend strawberries with the remaining lemon juice, a splash of water, and a handful of ice until smooth but thick enough to hold a swirl. Sweeten lightly if preferred.
  4. Create the Swirl: Alternate spoonfuls of pineapple slush and strawberry slush into serving glasses. Use a skewer or spoon to gently swirl the layers together without fully mixing, preserving the beautiful marbled effect.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the slushies right away to experience the best icy texture and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe fruits to maximize natural sweetness and reduce added sugar.
  • Adjust the amount of ice to control the slushiness—from icy firm to softer slush.
  • Chilling your glasses beforehand helps maintain the icy texture longer.
  • Swirl gently to keep distinct colorful layers while blending the flavors harmoniously.
  • Freeze leftover pineapple or strawberry portions for quick future slushies.
