Equipment

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Gather all ingredients and ensure the frozen fruits have been in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Using frozen fruit rather than fresh creates a thicker, creamier texture without watering down the flavors when the ice melts.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add the frozen raspberries, frozen peach slices, apple juice, honey or maple syrup, yogurt, and lemon juice to your blender. The lemon juice brightens the flavors and prevents the fruit from oxidizing and turning brown.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Pulse the blender a few times to break down the frozen fruit, then blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to blend properly, add a splash more apple juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it blends smoothly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Add the crushed ice and blend again for 15-20 seconds until you achieve a thick, slushie-like consistency. The ideal texture should be scoopable but still drinkable through a straw. Be careful not to over-blend, which can melt the ice and make the slushie too thin.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup. For more tartness, add a squeeze more lemon juice. Remember, frozen ingredients dull flavors slightly, so it should taste slightly sweeter than you'd want the final product to be.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Pour immediately into chilled glasses for the best texture. For a fun presentation, you can layer the slushie by blending the raspberry and peach components separately and carefully pouring one on top of the other.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Garnish with fresh raspberries and a slice of peach on the rim of each glass. Serve immediately with colorful straws. The slushie will begin to melt quickly, so enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor experience!</li></ol>

How to make Kid-Friendly Raspberry Peach Slushie Recipe at home?

Learn how to make Kid-Friendly Raspberry Peach Slushie Recipe at home by blending frozen raspberries and peaches with apple juice, sweetener, yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth.

Can I make this fruit slushie ahead of time for a children's party?

While best served immediately after blending, you can prepare this slushie up to 2 hours ahead and store in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent solidifying, and allow to thaw slightly before serving. The texture will be thicker but still delicious for busy party preparations.

What can I substitute for apple juice in this frozen mocktail?

White grape juice works perfectly as an alternative to apple juice. You could also use pineapple juice for a tropical twist, coconut water for a lighter option, or even lemonade for extra tanginess. Each substitute will slightly alter the flavour profile while maintaining the refreshing quality.

How can I make this slushie recipe healthier for everyday consumption?

Reduce the honey/maple syrup and use unsweetened apple juice to lower sugar content. Substitute Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess. Add a handful of spinach (the taste is undetectable!) for hidden vegetables, or include chia seeds for omega-3s and fibre.
