Ingredients
To make these refreshing slushies, you will need:
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup ice for the mango layer
1 cup ice for the strawberry layer
1/4 cup water (optional)
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Mango Layer: In a blender, combine the mango cubes and 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Taste and add honey or agave syrup if additional sweetness is desired. Pour the mango mixture into a bowl and rinse out the blender.
Prepare the
Strawberry Layer: In the cleaned blender, combine the strawberries and 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Taste and add honey or agave syrup if additional sweetness is desired.
Assemble the
Slushies: Pour a layer of the mango mixture into tall glasses, filling each glass about halfway. Carefully pour a layer of the strawberry mixture on top of the mango layer. Use a straw or spoon to gently swirl the two layers together to create a marbled effect.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing treat.
Tips and Tricks
Frozen Fruit: If fresh fruit is not available, you can use frozen mango and strawberries. This will also help keep the slushies extra cold.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness to your liking. The natural sweetness of the fruit may be enough, but feel free to add more honey or agave syrup as needed.
Alcoholic Version: For an adult twist, add a splash of rum or vodka to the blender for a refreshing cocktail.
