🍹 Pineapple Strawberry Swirled Slushies
Ingredients
(Makes 2–3 servings)
For the pineapple layer:
-
1 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks (drained if canned)
-
1 cup ice cubes
-
2–3 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
-
¼ cup water or pineapple juice
For the strawberry layer:
-
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
-
1 cup ice cubes
-
2–3 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
-
¼ cup water or strawberry juice
Instructions
1. Make the pineapple slush
-
In a blender, combine pineapple, ice, sugar, and water.
-
Blend until smooth but still slushy in texture.
-
Pour into glasses, filling about half the glass.
2. Make the strawberry slush
-
Rinse the blender.
-
Combine strawberries, ice, sugar, and water.
-
Blend until smooth.
3. Create the swirl
-
Gently pour the strawberry slush over the pineapple layer.
-
Use a spoon or straw to swirl slightly for a marbled effect — don’t overmix, you want distinct colors.
4. Serve
-
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
-
Optional: garnish with a slice of pineapple or a fresh strawberry on the rim.
💡 Tips
-
For extra flavor, add a splash of lime juice to the pineapple layer.
-
Frozen fruit works great if fresh fruit is out of season.
-
Sweetness can be adjusted to taste — sometimes pineapple needs less sugar than strawberries.
If you want, I can also give a blended drink version with coconut milk, which makes it creamy like a tropical smoothie-slush hybrid. Would you like me to do that?
