Acerola Pineapple Slushy Drink

Happy National Juice Slush Day! 

 

Wow we’re already in the middle of the week? I even don’t remember what I’ve been doing since last week. Thank you to those who left warm, sweet comments in the previous post.  Don’t worry, my health problem has been cleared, so no medication, meaning neither the side effects! 

 

Time to relax…how about a glass of refreshing fruity slushy, anyone? Let’s cook!

• 1 packet frozen acerola puree *I used one from Trader Joe’s
• ¼ pineapple
• ¼ cup water
• Lots of ice cubes
• Optional for sweet tooth holders – some sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup made with water and sugar for 1:1 ratio

 

<Directions>

Combine everything in a blender. When it gets smooth, transfer it to a glass and enjoy!

 

<Cooking Tips>

I used fresh pineapples, but of course you can use canned pineapple. Don’t throw away the syrup/juice just yet because you can make jello too!

For those who got fancy fridge that automatically makes ice cubes, good for you! I will stick manual way to make mine with this silicon ice tray.

Mmm, good! As summer is getting close, drink plenty of water when you’re outside, and drink welcome-back-home-sweet-home-drinks when you’re home!

 

A little heads up to the rest of this month…since my dinner buddy hubby got vacation starting from this upcoming Friday, we’ve decided to visit Yosemite National Park! So I will be very busy planning, packing, and getting ready for it. Thank you to my blogger friends who have visited there and posted about the experience of excursion…I’m getting pro tips haha!

 

I haven’t decided which hiking trails to hit, but I’m sure I will see either red or blue slushy drinks in one of the gas stations I’d stop by. They are always twirling and tempting us to buy one, but hopefully machines aren’t out of order. I don’t know why, but based on my observation those slushy drink machines are usually out of order. The chance is about 50:50. Right, those who live in the US?;)

 

Anyways, happy National Juice Slush Day everyone. Coincidentally today is National No Dirty Dishes Day too, so leave the blender in the dishwasher and enjoy your day!
