    Homemade Healthy "Slurpees"


    Slurpees were a favorite pass time when I was a little girl. Summertime, movies and slurpees. Then in college, I may or may not have added vodka! (gross)

    Anyways, they really are just sugar, ice and unhealthy dyes. There is not ONE vitamin, mineral, enzyme, or ounce of hydration. Talk about negative calories. 

    So, at home, we came up with the best natural version for your whole family to enjoy. Everyone from the picky kid to the parent with gourmet taste buds will approve. Fruit, ice and sweetener of choice!

    Please note that the amount of sweetener is up to your family and your taste buds. It totally depends. If you like the fruit flavors, use less. If you like the traditional SLURPEE flavors use MORE.

    Also, please note, you can also use XYLITOL or RAW HONEY or AGAVE NECTAR.

    Go ahead, try it at home. And give me some feedback. 


    BANANA SLURPEE RECIPE

    • 2 frozen bananas

    • 10 ice cubes

    • ΒΌ c water

    • 3 Tbls - ΒΌc agave nectar - depends on your sweetness needs and ripeness of fruit

    • Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth like a slurpee. 

    • Top with cacao powder, nutmeg powder & cacao nibs or NOTHING. My kids like it with nothing, of course. 


    PINEAPPLE SLURPEE RECIPE

    • 2 c fresh pineapple

    • 10 ice cubes

    • 4 Tbls agave nectar - might want to add more, depends on your sweetness needs and ripeness of fruit

    • Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth like a slurpee. 

    • note: add some fresh coconut for a pina colada taste. And even some rum, if you are feeling spicy. 


    WATERMELON MINT SLURPEE RECIPE

    • ΒΌ large watermelon 

    • 8 cubes of ice

    • 3 Tbls agave nectar

    • 5 sprigs mint {this in not optional - it's amazing}

    • Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth like a slurpee. 

    • note: top with mint sprigs. 


    ALMOND VANILLA SLURPEE RECIPE

    • ΒΌc almonds and/or brazil nuts

    • 5 Tbls agave nectar

    • 1 vanilla bean

    • 1 teaspoon almond extract

    • 8 cubes of ice

    Combine all ingredients EXCEPT ICE in a blender until smooth. Strain out the nuts using a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer saving the milk in a bowl. Then use the milk portion, NOT THE NUT PULP, and combine again in blender with ice. Add more agave if need be. 


    ORANGE LIME ZEST SLURPEE RECIPE

    • 2 oranges, peeled

    • 1 lime, juiced & then skin zested

    • 8 ice cubes or more

    • 4 Tbls agave nectar or more

    Combine all ingredients, excpet lime zest, in a blender until smooth like a slurpee. Add most of zest and blend again, on low until combined. 

    note: use the rest of the lime zest to spinkle on top. The zest is optional but adds a little biterness for the adults. Kids probably won't like it.

      So I'm unclear about the Almond Vanilla Slurpee. I tried to make it but there wasn't enough liquid to strain....where is the liquid coming from in your recipe? Instead I added unsweetened almond milk, dates, and ice cubes. It turned out pretty good πŸ™‚

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautΓ©ed potatoes is πŸ’£. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautΓ©ed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy
