Strawberry Slush

I love strawberries. Strawberries are full of vitamin C, and also a good source of folic acid, iron, potassium and magnesium. They are also one of  the highly concentrated antioxidant fruits which helps fight cancer and strengthen our immune system. Today, I made this simple yet amazing and refreshing strawberry slush. Slushes are drinks which have lots of ice in it. This drink is fresh, healthy, and perfect for a hot summer day.  

Ingredients:-
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1½ cup crushed ice
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • ½ cup sprite
  • a pinch of salt
Method:-
  • Remove the green petals and pull the stalks of the strawberry. Wash them well.
  • Blend the strawberries along with all the other ingredients.
  • Serve chilled.
Notes:-
  • You may also use blueberries, watermelon or kiwi instead of strawberries to make slush.
  • You may also use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones.
  • You may add honey instead of sugar.

      Thanks a lot Pavithra... Bang on when you mentioned salt making a difference to this.. I actually made the whole drink without salt and and when I took a sip, I felt something was missing.. Just the pinch of salt really made a difference.. Happy blogging dear :-)

      Thanks a lot Pankti.. I usually take ice in a clean thick cloth, fold it and then beat it with a belan*. When it breaks in small pieces I add it in the blender. Hope this helps sweety :-)
