Our easy low-calorie strawberry slush is the perfect way to beat the heat guilt free! Plus, it takes less than two minutes to throw together!
Welp people it is officially summer! So this low-cal strawberry slush is now a mandatory part of your diet ;)! It made me laugh to see "first day of summer" on the calendar last week, because where I live it's felt like summer for about two months!
The perk of living in the dessert though (and I remind myself of this tirelessly during these scorching months) is that the fall, winter and spring are to die for! We take a lot of little weekend getaways in the summer to try and beat the heat, and we drink a lot of smoothies and slushies.
Sarah lives in an oven too, and we have become pretty pro on finding delicious low calorie solutions like this dirty Dr. Pepper or this low cal coconut limeade!
Strawberry Slush
It does not get any easier than this easy slush recipe! It's no wonder I make this ALL of the time.
I am not a huge fan of Fresca by itself, but add a bunch of frozen strawberries and suddenly its totally delicious.. go figure! If you aren't watching the calories this can also be done easily with Sprite or 7Up, which is also super tasty.
Strawberry Slush Ingredients
- One can Fresca
- One cup frozen strawberries
Literally all you do is combine your two ingredients in a blender and pulse until well combined!
Pro Tips:
- This recipe is very adaptable. If you prefer blueberries or raspberries or mangos to strawberries, just sub out strawberries for the frozen fruit of your choice in equal measurements.
- Same thing goes for soda, if you prefer sprite zero or another low calorie beverage like Zevia, those sub really well also!
- Serve immediately after preparation for best consistency.
- Top with whipped cream and a strawberry for extra flair.
