Refreshing Fruit & Herb Summer Slushies

All you need to make pure, refreshing magic is:

~ Large amounts of Ice (I have recently found bagged ice at the store from Mountain Spring Water!)

~ High quality drinking water

~ Any kind of Fruit ~ you can make fruit blends or use one featured fruit.  I like to use a different fruit every day for these 🙂  

~ Sweetener for some of the blends ~  the fruits that have lower sugar content may require a little extra sweetness

~ HERBS!  ~ These are my secret key to crazy amazing slushies.  I have an extensive herb garden and I relish in trying out different herbs with different fruits.  Lemon thyme is of my favorites for making unique slushies.

Here are some slushies I have recently made:

~ Strawberry

~ Blueberry

~ Mojito (with mint, lime, and sweetener)

~ Watermelon

~ Canteloupe

~ Mango

~ Raspberry

~ Coconut Water

Here are some herbs I have added to my recently made slushies:

~ Basil (Regular, Purple, and African)

~ Thyme (Regular and Lemon)

~ Mint (Apple, Spearmint, Peppermint, Yerba Buena, Fruitasia, Mojito)

~ Sage

~ Rosemary

I also sometimes add sparkling water for some effervescence 🙂 and sometimes I use almond milk instead of water to make fruit-n-cream slushies.

I garnish with herb sprigs or herb flowers 🙂

You can use a blender or Nutribullet to create these cool yummies.

Enjoy!
