📝 Ingredients (Serves 2)

Pineapple Slush Layer

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup pineapple juice (or water)
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Strawberry Slush Layer

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup coconut water (or regular water)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (brightens flavor)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Chia seeds for texture
  • A splash of lime juice for zing

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Blend Each Layer Separately

  • Pineapple slush: Blend frozen pineapple + juice/water + honey until smooth.
  • Strawberry slush: Blend frozen strawberries + coconut water + lemon juice until smooth.

2. Swirl & Serve

  • Alternate spoonfuls of each flavor into glasses.
  • Use a straw or spoon to gently swirl for a marbled effect.

3. Garnish & Enjoy!

  • Top with fresh strawberry slices, pineapple wedges, or mint.
  • Serve immediately (melts fast!).

💡 Pro Tips

  • Freeze fresh fruit yourself for best flavor (slice, spread on a tray, freeze 2+ hours).
  • Too thick? Add liquid 1 tbsp at a time.
  • Too thin? Add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice.
  • Make ahead: Freeze blended slush in separate containers, thaw slightly before swirling.

🍍🍓 Flavor Variations

  • Tropical Twist: Add mango or banana to the pineapple layer.
  • Creamy Version: Blend in Greek yogurt or coconut milk.
  • Adult Upgrade: Spike with rum or vodka for a cocktail!

⏳ Storage

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be frozen in airtight jars for up to 1 week. Re-blend with a splash of liquid before serving.

Final Thought: These slushies taste like summer in a glass—naturally sweet, bursting with fruit, and so pretty swirled together!

(P.S. For a fun presentation, serve in hollowed-out pineapple halves!) 🍹✨
