<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>
