Chill out when the weather’s warm and treat yourself to this frozen drink that’s a blend of seasonal fresh raspberries and fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients

12 ounces raspberries
1 cup sugar substitute
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cups ice cubes

Directions

  1. In a food processor or blender, process the raspberries, sugar substitute, and lemon juice until the raspberries are puréed.
  2. Add the ice cubes. Process until the mixture is mostly smooth and has a slushie-like consistency. (It’s okay if there are a few ice chunks. Don’t overmix.)
  3. Divide the slushie into cups. Serve immediately.

Quick Tips

Tip: Add Color Swap: You can vary this recipe by using blueberries and lime juice, mangos and pineapple juice, or strawberries and orange juice instead of the raspberries and lemon juice.

Cooking Tip: If your blender is too small for the entire recipe, split the recipe into two batches, adding half the ingredients at a time.
