What You’ll Need

2 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup cold lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon honey (more or less to taste)
Lemon slices and fresh blueberries, for topping (optional)

Tools You’ll Need

Blender
Measuring cups and spoons
Tall serving glasses
Spoon for serving

Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)

Frozen blueberries are packed with natural juice and fiber, so when you blend them with lemonade, you get that thick, slushie consistency—no ice needed! Lemonade brings the acid, which makes the blueberry flavor pop. Honey melts right in and helps balance the tartness for a bright, smooth finish.

Common Mistakes

Using fresh blueberries: It won’t get slushy—freeze your berries first!
Not blending enough: If you see big chunks, blend a little longer for the best texture.
Adding too much honey: Start small; you can always add more.
Letting it sit too long: It melts fast, so serve right away.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Add 2 cups frozen blueberries to blender

What to do: Pour 2 cups of frozen blueberries right into your blender pitcher. They should be frosty and hard, not thawed.

Step 2: Add 1 cup cold lemonade

What to do: Pour in 1 cup of cold lemonade over the frozen blueberries.

Step 3: Add 1 tablespoon honey

What to do: Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey for natural sweetness.

Step 4: Blend until thick and icy

What to do: Blend on high for 30–40 seconds until everything is smooth and slushy. Scrape down the sides if needed.

Step 5: Pour into glasses and garnish (optional)

What to do: Pour the slushie into two glasses. Top with a slice of lemon and a few fresh blueberries if you want it to look extra fancy.

Make-Ahead Tips

Freeze the blueberries ahead of time, and you can even portion them into freezer bags for quick blending. Don’t blend until you’re ready to serve for the best texture.

Leftovers + Storage

Slushies are best right away, but if you have leftovers, freeze in ice cube trays. When you want a slushie again, just re-blend with a splash of lemonade.

Substitutions + Variations

Swap the berries: Use frozen blackberries or raspberries for a twist.
Make it vegan: Use agave or maple syrup instead of honey.
Add a boost: A little fresh mint blended in is delicious.
Make it sparkling: Top with sparkling water for fizz!
