Scale

Slushy Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cups orange juice, divided
  • 12 ounces (2, 6 ounce containers) vanilla bean yogurt (plain or Greek)
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Freeze Orange Juice Cubes: Pour 1 1/3 cups of the orange juice into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid, approximately 3 hours. This step ensures the base of the slushy has the right icy texture.
  2. Blend the Slushy: Once frozen, empty the orange juice cubes into a blender. Add the remaining 1/3 cup orange juice, vanilla bean yogurt, and honey to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the slushy into cold tumbler glasses and serve immediately for best texture and flavor. For an adult version, optionally add a splash of vodka or rum before blending.

Notes

  • The orange juice ice cubes can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for convenience.
  • Use plain or Greek vanilla bean yogurt depending on your preferred creaminess and protein content.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with sweeteners of choice if desired.
  • The boozy option is great for summer parties—add vodka or rum to your blender before blending the slushy.
  • This recipe is naturally vegetarian and can be made gluten free depending on yogurt choice.
